The Archbishop of Sydney Award for Student Excellence:<\/span><\/i><\/h5>\n
Congratulations to Katelyn Lopes<\/span><\/i><\/h5>\n

The Archbishop of Sydney Awards for Student Excellence, an annual award ceremony involving 50 Catholic secondary schools, was held today 8 September. This prestigious annual award, sponsored by the Archbishop of Sydney, Anthony Fisher OP, recognises the outstanding young women and men in Catholic schools across Sydney. It is an important way of profiling the very positive contribution that young people make to their school and local communities to change and improve the world. It is also an affirmation of the support that families offer their children, and public acclaim for the commitment and dedication of their teachers. It is always such a lovely occasion and students were praised highly and thanked warmly by Archbishop Anthony, sending the message that our church of the future is in good hands. This hope-filled message was reiterated by Executive Director, Tony Farley, in his address to the students. It was very uplifting to see the number of our young people across Sydney who are active in positive ways within their communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our very worthy College recipient for 2023 is Year 12 student, <\/span>Katelyn Lopes<\/i><\/b>.<\/b> As an MSCW college community we are very proud of Katelyn.
