The City of Kingston Australia Day Awards recognise and honour the achievements of citizens and community groups who have made a significant contribution to the local community. The 2012 awards were presented at Council's Australia Day breakfast at Kingston City Hall on Australia Day.

We are very proud of Jack's achievements, and at only 15 years of age, and a member of the School Community Service Group, there is no doubt this third generation Mentonian will continue to make a positive contribution to his community and his School.
