The School was delighted to induct Bishop Mark Short (OA1984) into the Hall of Honour during last year's Evening of Celebration and Prizegiving. 

Bishop Short's connection to the School runs deep. In 1984 he graduated as Head Student and Dux of School, after an extraordinary academic record that saw him also named dux of Years 7 through 11. 

Today, he serves as Bishop of the Diocese of Canberra and Goulburn and was recently elected Primate of the Anglican Church of Australia, the senior bishop of the national church.

The Hall of Honour recognises Old Andreans who have achieved international distinction in their chosen fields. Those honoured include aviation pioneer Sir Charles Kingsford Smith (OA1914), Olympic sailor Malcolm Page (OA1989), internationally acclaimed tenor Stuart Skelton (OA1986) and world champion netballer Chelsea Pitman (OA2007). 

Bishop Short's induction acknowledges both his remarkable achievements and the leadership he continues to offer the Church and wider community. Congratulations, Bishop Short, on this well-deserved recognition.
