Congratulations are due to Oliver Cox ('13) for receiving a National Outstanding Service Award from the Australian Red Cross in early October.

The Outstanding Service Award recognises outstanding service to Red Cross and is awarded to members, volunteers or staff who have demonstrated dedication to Red Cross principles, ideally over a period of at least six years.

For Ollie, it recognises his outstanding contribution to the Soup Patrol Service - leading the Aquinas team since he earned his P plates.

Our very own John Richards also received the Outstanding Service Award in the same ceremony.

This award is another feather in the cap for Oliver Cox who received South Perth’s Young Volunteer of the Year Award in 2018, recognising his role with the Red Cross and as an Edmund Rice Camp Leader - providing essential respite and exciting holiday programs for children from less privileged backgrounds.
