Deakin Young Influencer Award

We would like to congratulate Hannah Hart on being chosen as the recipient of the 2023 Deakin Young Influencer Award. This award is open to all Year 11 students and Hannah was selected as The Hamilton and Alexandra College winner, which is an incredible achievement.

The Deakin Young Influencer Award recognises excellence and celebrates students who are truly motivated to make a positive difference in the world - now and into the future. Deakin believes strongly in acknowledging outstanding students, who stand for the same values that we do. The University has rewarded Hannah’s efforts and achievements with a $5,000 scholarship to support their first year of study at Deakin in 2025.

Hannah was awarded for her commitment to helping, teaching and caring for others. She has worked with Brophy Family and Youth Services as a foster carer since the beginning of 2020, which has involved significant training. Her role has involved tutoring outside of school hours and helping students to complete school assignments. She has cared for children from a range of different ages, backgrounds and abilities and is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment. Community leadership is a value that Deakin seeks to uphold, and we commend this student’s commitment to it.

Congratulations Hannah, we wish you all the best and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.
