The Patrick Rodgers Memorial Award is open for nominations. This annual award recognises a young Old Ignatian (under 30 years) whose post-school commitment to service—either through volunteer work or a career dedicated to helping others—is especially noteworthy. Named in honour of Patrick Rodgers (OR2011), who tragically passed away while serving vulnerable communities in Cambodia, the award celebrates young men who embody the Ignatian ideal of being Men for and With Others. 

We invite you to nominate a young Old Ignatian who is making a meaningful impact—locally, nationally, or internationally—through selfless service and dedication to accompanying those on the margins. Help us recognise and celebrate those living out the Ignatian values beyond school. Submit your nomination by 15th September 2025. 

"The great irony of helping others is…the person most physically and emotionally impacted by my work, is actually myself". The 2023 recipient, Gianni Taranto (OR2014), World Food Program Africa"
