Excellence Awards
“Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We do not act rightly because we are excellent in fact we achieve excellence by acting rightly.” -Plato
Two Excellence Prizes named after the late Chairman Alex Taylor OAM, and the retiring Chairman Peter Wood OAM are presented each year. Each prize of $1,000 is paid for excellent scholastic performance in the first year of university, restricted to Grantees of the previous year.
