Bishop Joseph Grech Youth Scholarship 2023

We would like to congratulate Cora Wilson and Karjini Karunanayake who both received the Bishop Joseph Grech Scholarship Award at a ceremony in Shepparton on Tuesday!

The Bishop Joseph Grech Scholarship recognises exceptional young people in Sandhurst secondary colleges, who model exemplary behaviour and contribute to the life of their school, through their commitment to their faith and to social justice.

The luncheon was hosted by the Chief Executive Officer of Catholic Education Sandhurst, Mr Paul Desmond who paid tribute to the students, highlighting their achievements, their community contributions and their exceptional leadership skills.

The Bishop Joseph Scholarship for Youth was established in 2011 to honour former Bishop of Sandhurst, Bishop Joe Grech.

The scholarship enables senior students in Sandhurst secondary colleges to participate in spirituality or leadership programs beyond their schools, promoting young people as significant members of the church.

The Director of Catholic Education Sandhurst, Mr Paul Desmond said it was a privilege to learn more about the wonderful young adults in our schools.
