Celebrating Excellence: Bishop’s Award Presented to Anthony Pilayre

We are proud to congratulate Anthony Pilayre (Year 12) on receiving the prestigious Bishop’s Award for Student Excellence, presented by Bishop Vincent last Thursday evening at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Parramatta.

Anthony was a truly deserving recipient, recognised for his unwavering faith, integrity, and leadership throughout his time at St Andrews. His commitment to the Catholic tradition has been evident in his service as an Altar Server, Eucharistic Minister, and Youth Ministry Leader, where he has consistently demonstrated humility and a deep sense of vocation.

Beyond liturgical service, Anthony has shown a strong dedication to Social Justice, actively contributing to the Social Justice Society, Vinnies Van, Project Compassion, and the Catholic Mission Conference. His passion for justice and compassion has made a meaningful impact on both our school and the wider community.

Academically, Anthony has excelled across his studies, reflecting a genuine love for learning and a commitment to personal growth. His ability to balance academic achievement with spiritual and social leadership makes him an outstanding role model for his peers.

We celebrate Anthony not only for this honour, but for the example he sets in living out the values of our faith with purpose and grace.

Congratulations, Anthony, on this well-earned recognition. Your journey continues to inspire us all.
