Read the full storyIngham State High School is delighted to announce that School Captain, Amayah Hague, has been awarded the prestigious Order of Australia Association’s Secondary Schools’ Citizenship Award for 2025 — a distinguished honour that recognises exemplary young Australians who demonstrate outstanding leadership, citizenship, and service to their communities.
Amayah is one of only twelve students across Queensland to receive this significant accolade in 2025, placing her among an elite group of young leaders whose contributions extend far beyond the classroom.
The award celebrates secondary school students who have made a substantial impact through civic involvement, volunteerism, and leadership initiatives. Amayah’s selection reflects her active involvement in both school and community initiatives, and her consistent embodiment of values such as integrity, compassion, and responsibility.
This achievement also marks a notable milestone for Ingham State High School, with the award being conferred on one of its students for the second consecutive year. In 2024, then Vice Captain David Schofield, received the same honour — a testament to the school’s continued focus on fostering leadership and community-mindedness in its student body.
Amayah received her award from Her Excellency, the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM, Governor of Queensland, during an official ceremony held at Parliament House in Brisbane on Friday 19 September 2025. The occasion brought together award recipients from across the state, their families, and dignitaries to celebrate the next generation of civic leaders.
Ingham State High School Principal Rod Flood, commended Amayah on her achievement, stating, "Amayah is an outstanding young woman who has made a lasting impression on our school and the wider community. We are immensely proud of her achievements and look forward to seeing all that she will continue to accomplish."
The entire Ingham State High School community joins in congratulating Amayah on this extraordinary accomplishment. Her success stands as a proud reminder of the positive impact that young people can have — and reflects the values and spirit that define Ingham State High School.
