Ampol has announced the winner of the Ampol Best All Rounder Award for New South Wales.

The 2025 recipient of New South Wales' Best All Rounder Award is Johlee Masters from Hay War Memorial High School.

2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the Best All Rounder initiative and stands as a testament to Ampol's dedication to advancing education, employment and community engagement opportunities through the Ampol Foundation. 

This is the fourth year Ampol has recognised state and national best all-rounder winners for their exceptional achievements. 

"The Ampol Best All Rounder Award has been a key initiative to powering better journeys for students nationwide into its fourth decade," Ampol Executive General Manager, People and Culture Meaghan Davis said.

"We are proud to acknowledge the most outstanding final-year students and the remarkable impacts they have made to both school and community, and believe this important initiative has played a role in developing well-rounded graduates over the last 40 years."

"Everyone at Ampol wishes to congratulate all of our winners, and in particular, those who received the well-deserved accolade of state and national winner."

As adept in the classroom as she is on the sporting field, Johlee is admired by her peers and teachers alike and was an overwhelming choice for school captain.

A state-level cricketer and Australian Rules player and junior coach, Johlee also represents the Riverina in swimming and athletics and still has time to play soccer and basketball locally.

Johlee also mentors primary school age students in the conservation of Plains-Wanderers, a critically endangered bird based primarily in the Hay Plains.

As part of her recognition, Johlee has won a $2000 cash grant and a $1000 AmpolCash gift card, in addition to a $2000 grant for Hay War Memorial High School.

Hay War Memorial High School Head of HSIE and TAS Graeme Smyth said: "Hay War Memorial High School is overjoyed for Johlee Masters being selected as a very deserving 2025 NSW Ampol Best All Rounder winner.

"Johlee typifies an all-rounder. She is someone who will always give things a go, always gives her best, and represents the school with pride.

"Johlee consistently demonstrates personal conduct that aligns with the highest standards of integrity, respect, and responsibility. She is courteous and considerate in all her interactions and sets a positive example for her peers.

"Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or in leadership roles, she conducts herself with dignity and humility and her behaviour reflects the values at the heart of the Ampol Best All Rounder Award."

The Best All Rounder Award is Ampol's longest running community program. Since 1985, more than 36,000 young Australians have been recognised in high schools across the country as their school's best all-rounder.

The program now forms part of Ampol's broader focus on education through its community partnerships.

Other organisations supported through the Ampol Foundation include The Smith Family, Clontarf Foundation and Stars Foundation.
