🌟 Celebrating Granville’s Outstanding Volunteers at the 2025 St John NSW State Awards! 🌟
This year, Granville Division is proud to celebrate an incredible group of volunteers whose service, leadership, and compassion have been recognised at the highest level across St John NSW.
✨ 30 Years of Service – Isabelle Moutia
A remarkable milestone! Isabelle will receive her fourth bar to the Service Medal, recognising three decades of exceptional dedication to St John—much of it spent in key EHS leadership roles that have shaped and strengthened both our organisation and our division.
🏆 2025 NSW Metropolitan Volunteer of the Year – Alan Law
Alan’s two decades of exceptional service, leadership, and clinical excellence, particularly his work overseeing hundreds of major events at Qudos Bank Arena and mentoring volunteers across Granville, have earned him the title of 2025 St John NSW Metropolitan Volunteer of the Year. His calm professionalism, operational expertise, and unwavering commitment to community care set the benchmark for volunteer leadership across St John NSW.
🌱 2025 Peter Falkland State Youth Leader of the Year – Anica Sampson
A passionate, visionary youth leader, Anica continues to inspire through innovation, mentorship, and community impact. We are so proud to see her recognised for her leadership across Youth programs.
🎉 Bronze Commendation – Damien Rodgers-Wood
If you’ve ever seen St John shine at the Sydney Mardi Gras, you’ve seen Damien's work in action. His passion and commitment to this iconic event has earned him a well-deserved commendation this year!
💚 Meritorious Care Award – Charlie Morrison
Our own cadet, Charlie, has been recognised for providing lifesaving care to a schoolmate experiencing a severe asthma attack. An incredible achievement for one of our youngest members.
🏅 Grand Prior Award – Hayden Li
The highest honour a St John Cadet can earn! Hayden’s years of commitment, attaining twelve proficiency subjects highlight not only his skills, but his growth into a confident, compassionate young leader.
🌪️ Cyclone Alfred Emergency Response Certificates – Ryan Kzx, Kathy Lung & Jeremy Kelly
When Cyclone Alfred struck northern NSW, these three Granville volunteers stepped up, deploying to support affected communities. Their resilience and service have been formally recognised at this year’s ceremony.
👏 To all our award recipients—thank you.
Your commitment, professionalism, and heart embody the very best of St John. Granville Division is incredibly proud of each and every one of you.
