Honours Assembly In Week 3, we had the pleasure of welcoming back our highest achieving 2024 graduates and their families for the annual Honours Assembly. At this assembly, 22 recipients were awarded Academic Gold for achieving the highest A level in their subject. 4 of these recipients achieved the remarkable feat of 100 out of 100 in their awarded subjects. In addition, 29 recipients received Academic Excellence awards to recognise their attainment of an ATAR score of 90 or higher.
3 outstanding graduates were honoured with SPS’s highest academic awards:
Peyton Arici received The Thomas Morton Forster Memorial Prize (3rd to Dux) Lachlan Mackenzie-Smith received The Horace and Daphne Gartside Memorial Prize (2nd to Dux) Timofei Krivykh received The Sir Edwin Marsden Tooth Memorial Prize (Dux of Year 12) A highlight of the event was an inspiring address from Brittany Morgan, past student and current President of the Past Students Supporters Group. Reflecting on her time at SPS, Ms. Morgan shared how the school laid the foundation for everything in her life that followed. “It was the environment of curiosity, ambition, teamwork, and support that truly shaped me. The teachers didn’t just teach—they mentored us, challenged us to think critically, and encouraged us to ask big questions,” she said. “One of the most important lessons I learned at St Paul’s was the power of relationships. Success isn’t just about what you know; it’s about who you know, and more importantly, how you collaborate with others. The sense of community here has stayed with me, and it’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about staying connected to this school.”
