Family, friends, teachers, and principals gathered in the Victor Peter Suite on Wednesday afternoon to celebrate the dedication and hard work of the 2023 HSC award recipients. The 20 students from across seven different schools in the Diocese were congratulated on their outstanding results by Steve Lemos, Head of Catholic Schools, and the wider school community. A highlight of the ceremony was Diocesan Dux recipient Jack Breasley’s eloquent speech, reflecting on his experiences throughout the intense HSC period. Congratulations to our students on their achievements, and best wishes for the future!
