"I don’t think there is another high school in the world that has produced such incredible well rounded graduates in all spheres. The KDHS Linksfield experience transformed my life and much of that credit should go to Elliott Wolf and his dedicated teachers. I remember my First day in High School vividly. I came in Form 2 (Standard 7), not knowing a soul, from a school of 100 kids to my new school of 1200. I was walking around trying to find my classroom when Mr Wolf came right up to me, called me by my first name, asked me how I was doing and offered to help! I was shocked that he even knew my name amongst 1200 kids, but that was just the way he was. An amazing leader who taught us that a school is so much more than just a building with classrooms. My other great memories of High School are the sports events, playing 1st team Cricket and reaching the semi-finals of the Johnny Waite knockout competition, the only co-ed school to achieve that for many years."
