To celebrate the 20-year anniversary since the inception of Nil Magnum Nisi Bonum project – an initiative grounded in legacy and influence – we warmly welcomed nine ambitious Old Girls to induct them into our halls of Sherren House. 

Nil Magnum Nisi Bonum Project

In 2006, as a gift to the School for its 110th anniversary, SCOGA initiated the Nil Magnum Nisi Bonum Project to honour exceptional Old Girls who exemplify the School motto: Nothing is great unless it is good.

Profiles of 70 Old Girls have since been added to the halls of Sherren House; illustrating a portrait of their tenacity and courage to achieve something truly great, in the face of progress. 

Here are the nine new honourees:

Lauren Berkowitz (’82) Artist transforming natural and manufactured materials using light, volume and space

Genevieve Brammall (’89) National Head of PR & Talent Relations at News Corp Australia

Rebecca Coates PhD (’82) Museum director, curator, public speaker, writer and lecturer

Bronwen Colman (’82) Legacy of public artworks, Arts policy adviser, curator and project manager

Anne Court AM (’58) Significant service to golf administration and to the community

Sophie Holt (’82) Fashion designer and creative director

Maddie Hooker OLY (’22) Australian Olympic team Milano Cortina 2026

Anne MacArthur AM (’58) Red Cross lifelong volunteer

We sincerely thank our inductees for attending this delightful evening to pay homage to our School's legacy while looking forth into the future. It sure feels bright knowing our girls have the confidence and capability to spark real-world change.
