On Wednesday 28 October, the St Brendan's College community gathered in the College Performing Arts Centre (CPAC) for the annual Awards Night, recognising and celebrating the dedication, achievement and contributions of students across academic, cultural, leadership and service pursuits throughout 2026.
The evening showcased the remarkable talents of St Brendan's students, with awards presented across all year levels, acknowledging academic excellence, vocational learning, leadership, music, visual arts, service and commitment to the values of the College.
Throughout the evening, families, staff and distinguished guests joined together to celebrate the individual journeys behind each achievement. From Academic Silver and Gold recipients through to Dux award winners, special award recipients and VET excellence nominees, the ceremony highlighted the determination, resilience and pursuit of excellence demonstrated by students both inside and outside the classroom.
Year level Dux awards were presented to:
- Year 7 Dux: Oliver Lowther
- Year 8 Dux: Flynn McFarlane
- Year 9 Dux: Lawson Sedgman
- Year 10 Dux: Vincent Thompson
- Year 11 Dux: Alexander Campbell
Excellence in vocational education was also recognised, with:
- Year 11 VET Student of the Year: Dustin Crawford
- Year 12 VET Student of the Year: Ty Gretton
One of the highlights of the evening was the recognition of the College's 2026 Dux nominees. Collectively, these students amassed an extraordinary 77 perfect internal assessment results throughout their senior studies and will learn the outcome of the College Dux award following the release of ATAR results later this year.
The evening also celebrated students who have excelled in music, public speaking, visual arts, service leadership, First Nations education, Christian leadership and community involvement, reinforcing the College's commitment to developing well-rounded young men grounded in the values of Edmund Rice.
St Brendan's College extends its sincere thanks to the many presenters, sponsors, guests, families and staff whose ongoing support helps create opportunities for students to pursue excellence in all aspects of College life.
Congratulations to all award recipients, nominees and students recognised throughout the evening. Your achievements are a testament to your hard work, character and commitment to making the most of every opportunity.
