OMNIA Awards

mrs Nadia Knight | Assistant Principal – Mission and Staff Formation

It is my pleasure to announce our Omnia Recipients for 2021. These are prestigious awards, an important part of our Salesian story. Nominees should be incredibly proud of their place in Salesian History. Omnia Awards are presented to students who have made an outstanding contribution to community service within or behalf of Salesian College. These students have demonstrated a community mindedness and action, which is selfless, voluntary and regular, without the expectation of reward or recognition.

Keelan is a mature and considerate young man who has involved himself in many elements of service inside and outside the College Community. Throughout his time at the college, he has demonstrated an outstanding level of participation in all aspects of Salesian life whilst ensuring he is diligent in his academic studies. His peers have always admired him for his ‘can do’ attitude. He has played a significant role in promoting environmental issues and the Share the Dignity campaign. He has also participated and demonstrated exceptional leadership skills facilitating workshops for the Time and Space events.
