Celebrating Academic Excellence

On March 27, the College recognised 44 residents who achieved academic excellence in the Semester 2, 2023 study period.

The residents took the stage at an Academic Awards Formal Dinner attended by the College Residents, Academic Guides, Staff, and Esteemed Guests. The College announced the recipients of the coveted Knox Scholarship Awards and recognised residents who earned Academic Excellence awards by achieving a High-Distinction average. The full list of recipients is at the bottom of this article.

We were honoured to have Prof Chris Thompson, Director of Education for the Biomedical Discovery Institute at Monash University, as our keynote speaker. Chris shared some valuable insights about resilience and leaning on your community when things are not going your way, a critical message to share on an evening highlighting the achievements and commitment of our residents. We also welcomed Prof Bryan Horrigan and Prof Sarah McDonald from Monash University to present the awards.

The Knox Scholarships are awarded in memory of Cardinal James Robert Knox, Archbishop of Melbourne between 1967 and 1974, who blessed and laid the foundation stone at Mannix College on Thursday, May 23, 1968. Knox Scholarships were awarded to the highest-performing resident in each faculty and included a cash prize of $750 provided by the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne.

The College is pleased to support and recognise those residents who have demonstrated academic excellence and notes how competitive these awards are, especially given the high quality of Mannix students.

The College is committed to offering residents a robust academic program to assist them in achieving their academic goals. Every Tuesday evening of the Semester, The College delivers an in-person academic workshop and subject-specific support from our Academic Guides and Mentors team. This provides a crucial bridge between the College and the learning support offered by Monash University. 

The College congratulates all students on their academic efforts and progress.
