OA Hall of Fame

Starting in 2019, four Old Aloysians were inducted into the OA Hall of Fame, as a result of their contributions to Law, Business & Philanthropy, Health & Wellbeing and Public Life. You can read about our latest inductees below and what it means to them to have been honoured by this award.

PROFESSOR FRANK DUNN CBE (1965)

Recognised for his services to Cardiology and the Community

“St Aloysius’ College has been part of my life for the past 67 years. The College set me on the path to Medicine which I have found to be a most fulfilling profession. So much of what I learned at the School has served me well during my career. I regard the award of Hall of Fame status as my most cherished honour and will never forget the moving induction ceremony in front of the whole School”.

PAUL COIA (1973)

Recognised for his services to Broadcasting and Communications

“After I addressed school assembly, one boy asked why my portrait wasn’t hanging on the staircase wall. When the teacher explained I hadn’t done the photography session yet, the boy said, “Never mind. One day my picture will be hanging there too.”

That’s what this means. It’s undeserved. Humbling. But it’s hugely inspiring”.

DR LORNA GOLD (1990)

Recognised for her services to the Environment and Climate Change

“It was a great honour for me to be admitted into the OA Hall of Fame during COP26. My work on climate justice started in a geography classroom on Hill Street, and it was wonderful to be back there where it all began”.

ALFRED MORRISON (1981)

Recognised for his services to the Traditional Music Industry

“From my very first day at the College, I was struck by the strength of the Jesuit ethos. This stayed with me and inspired me throughout my life and career and I’m so grateful to the Jesuits and to the College for this. I’m so incredibly honoured to have been inducted into the Hall of Fame”.
