Oakleaf Awards

For 150 years, Trinity alumni and supporters of the College have contributed much to the College and the broader community.

The Trinity Oakleaf commemorates 150 years of the College by recognising living alumni and supporters who have made a notable contribution to Trinity, the broader community, or both, within Australia or globally.  

Oakleaf Awardees all demonstrate a high level of achievement in, amongst other areas, the arts, Anglican Church, sport, science, business, or professions that deliver a social good. All are contributing to the community over and above what might be reasonably expected through paid employment or by making an outstanding voluntary contribution. 

A committee of 13 members, from across all three College divisions, was tasked with selecting the 150 living alumni and College supporters for an Oakleaf Award.

Congratulations to our Oakleaf Awardees
