The Year 12 students who received an Archbishop’s Award for Student Excellence this year are no strangers to the power of faith and action.
Each year, the awards acknowledge the commitment to their faith, academic life, community and social justice of one student from each of 50 secondary schools in the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney.
The 2021 awards were presented during a live video conference for the students, their parents and principals on Friday 3 September.
In his address to the awardees, Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher OP encouraged attendees to “fight for what really matters in life, with the weapons of faith, hope and love.”
“As a Church and society one of our best weapons is our young people, and today we recognise our top guns” – Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP
