Jesse Li

 

Class of 2003

Medical Practitioner / COVID Doctor

 

Jesse was Head Boy and Dux in Year 12. He then went on to study medicine at UWA and Harvard University.

 

He was working as an Emergency Room Doctor in Sydney when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Australia's shores. As residents of one of Sydney's Aged Care Homes started to die, and their medical staff were isolated with COVID, Jesse volunteered to work there. Subsequently, he was tasked to head up the Hotel Quarantine system in NSW, and was the doctor chosen to give the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, his first COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Jesse gave a powerful address to our school Honours Society assembly in 2021 via video while in quarantine in Sydney.
