SCHOLARSHIPS, AWARDS AND BURSARIES

DR ROSEMARY BROOKS OAM SCHOLARSHIP

Dr Rosemary Brooks OAM, Principal of St Ann’s College 1985 – 2019, devoted herself every day to the Vision of the College: an international community inspired to excellence through learning. By example, she guided students towards the realisation of their educational dreams. This scholarship celebrates her close working relationship – in particular with the altruistic Chairs and Members of Council, the Foundation and Collegians Association of St Ann’s across the history of the college – that was the cornerstone of her principalship. Those bodies model service to the community to generations of brilliant students from rural and regional Australia. They realised the funds for this scholarship in her honour, in that spirit of service and inclusion.
