For generations, Old Paradians have been duly recognised for their significant contributions to society beyond the school gates.
The OPA hopes to compile a complete register of old collegians who have received Australian Honours or Awards, including The Order of Australia, Meritorious Awards, Military Awards, and Australian Bravery Decorations. The Australian Honours and Awards system recognises the outstanding service and contributions of Australians.
If you, or someone you know, have received such an Honour or Award, we kindly request that you inform us so that we can include the information in our register.
