Try this:

ABC is a triangle,
D,E and F are points on BC,CA and AB such that AD is perpendicular to BC, BE is perpendicular to CA and CF is perpendicular to AB.

From D, perpendicular lines are dropped onto AB,BE,CF and AC,
intersecting them at P,Q,R and S respectively.

prove that PQRS are colinear.

(hint: this is related to the last circle geometry question in cambridge)

buy/borrow/steal the 4U book and do the harder 3U question..

go thru pass HSC papers..4U

generally do harder 3U topics.. from 4U books

not quite what I was thinking of, probably a typo somewhere?
consider triangle ACE, show that D lies on it's circumcircle
hence deduce PRS are colinear
then show PQR are colinear

and the theorem I was refering to was the last one in the cambridge specimen papers.
If I remembered correctly, it's a question 8
