The Archbishop of Sydney Awards for Student Excellence is an annual recognition by the Archbishop of Sydney, of the outstanding young women and men in our Catholic schools. Each year, the awards acknowledge the students\u2019 commitment to their faith, academic life, community and social justice. It is an important way of highlighting the very positive contribution that young people make to their school and local community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, these awards recognise those young people who give witness to their Christian values and who actively contribute to the faith life of their school. Recipients of the award are practising Catholics who show responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community. It is also an affirmation of the support that families offer their children, and public acclaim for the commitment and dedication of their teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday 26 August, <\/span>Krista Orias-Cabasal,<\/span> was presented with the Archbishop of Sydney Award for Excellence. Krista was chosen for this distinguished award as a young woman of great faith, generosity and humility. She is a model of living a life of genuine service to others. Krista is an exemplary role model for her peers. Her integrity as a student leader and as College 2025 Faith and Mission Prefect, has enabled her to give witness to service, empowering other students to take responsibility and use their talents to serve the community. <\/span><\/p>\n

Krista lives <\/span>an authentic Catholic life and is truly a woman who will make a difference in the world. She is known for her consistency and reliability in being witness to the faith at the College and truly lives the College motto: \u2018La Verite \u2013 The Truth.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations to Krista on this wonderful achievement and many thank you to Remy Girdwood for reading the citation during the ceremony at St Mary\u2019s Cathedral.<\/span><\/p>\n

Citation<\/strong><\/span><\/i><\/h6>\n

Krista Orias-Cabasal is a young woman deeply committed to her faith, living out the Gospel values through her role as Faith and Mission Prefect at Domremy College, Five Dock. She is actively involved in Holy Innocents\u2019 Catholic Church, Croydon, where she regularly attends Mass with her family and has served as an altar server for many years. Krista demonstrates a strong sense of justice and compassion through her involvement in Social Justice initiatives such as Project Compassion and the Vinnies Winter Appeal. She has also participated in the Catechist for Primary Schools Program and the Sydney Catholic Schools\u2019 10:10 Program.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Her commitment to the College\u2019s liturgical life is evident in her role as an altar server and lector at school Masses, and her leadership of the Rosary Group and Daughters of Grace Bible group. She was also a pilgrim at World Youth Day 2023, and by her own admission found the experience deeply enriching to her faith journey. Her contributions to the religious life of the College and Parish are highly valued.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
