Congratulations to Mitchell Anderson from St Mary MacKillop College, Swan Hill who has been awarded the Fr James Wall Bursary for the Diocese of Ballarat by the Catholic Development Fund.

The bursary recognises Mitchell’s outstanding academic achievements, his dedication to his community, and his insatiable curiosity about the world around him.

For over 20 years, the Fr James Wall Bursary has empowered young leaders like Mitchell as they move from Yr 10 into senior secondary schooling, encouraging them to continue their journey of personal growth and community involvement.

We thank the Catholic Development Fund (CDF) for supporting and honouring Mitchell in this way.
