Archbishop of Sydney Awards for Student Excellence 2024

Congratulations to Charlotte Hextell, our 2024 Faith and Mission Prefect, who was presented with the Archbishop of Sydney Award for Student Excellence 2024, by Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP at the Award ceremony at St Mary’s Cathedral on Friday 23 August.

The citation was read by Sophia Pollicina, our 2025 College Vice-Captain:

“The College Faith and Mission Prefect, Charlotte Hextell, is a well-deserving recipient of this award for 2024. Charlotte’s contributions to the Catholic faith life of the College and her community continue to grow. This has been demonstrated through altar-serving for College Masses, and participating with the offertory and collection whilst attending weekend Mass at her Parish, All Hallows’ Five Dock. 

Charlotte leads the Rosary on Thursdays, as part of her role as Faith and Mission Prefect and assists with Vinnies Sandwich Making and other Social Justice initiatives at College. Charlotte has valued the opportunity to take part in the 10:10 Project and overnight retreat, reconnecting with and deepening her faith through Bible study.

Your Grace, I present to you Charlotte Hextell.”

Estelle Nunes, our 2024 Creative and Performing Arts Prefect, was invited by Sydney Catholic Schools Arts HQ to present a feature performance at the Award ceremony at the Cathedral and beautifully performed the Music Interlude with “In My Dreams”.

The College was invited to nominate a student to assist the Archbishop with the presentation of the awards. Sophia Ghantous, 2024 College Vice-Captain, was selected to represent Domremy in this task.
