We congratulate Sr Deirdre and Pr Wright OAM

Congratulations to Sr Deirdre Browne IBVM and to Associate Professor Edwina Wright AM (PY 1976), who were this year recipients of an OAM (Medal of the Order of Australia) in the Queen’s Birthday Honour List.

Sr Deidre, a dear friend of Loreto Toorak and composer of Lead Us On Mary Ward, was recognised for “service to the community as a religious sister and through music, education and the liturgical arts”.

Professor Wright, a past pupil of Loreto Toorak, graduating in the Class of 1976, was recognised for significant service to medicine, specifically for her work with people living with HIV/AIDS.

This is a truly well-deserved recognition of Sr Deirdre’s and Professor Wright’s dedicated work, always carried out in a spirit of generosity, creativity and wisdom. Our whole School community joins in celebrating and congratulating Sr Deidre and Professor Wright!
