SUPREME COURT JUDGE APPOINTMENT
AUSTRALIA DAY HONOURS FOR SERVICE TO BUSINESS
UNIVERSITY MEDAL FOR POLITICAL THEORY
Loreto Kirribilli Board Member and barrister Anna Mitchelmore SC ('93) has recently been appointed a Judge of Appeal to the Supreme Court of NSW. Called to the NSW Bar in 2004 and appointed Senior Counsel in 2018, this is the latest achievement in a distinguished legal career.
In the 2022 Australia Day Honours, Rachel Grimes (’85) was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for her significant service to business in the field of accountancy, and to professional associations.
Juliette Marchant (’17) has recently been awarded the University of Sydney Medal for Outstanding Academic Achievement and the best thesis in Politics and International Relations. Juliette is studying a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws at the University of Sydney. She recently completed her Honours in Arts, majoring in Government and International Relations. Juliette’s political theory thesis focused on the works of the first female professor of government at Harvard University, Judith Shklar, a powerful, yet underappreciated woman in political thought.
Announcing her appointment, Attorney General Mark Speakman commented, "The NSW justice system is fortunate to have a practitioner of such standing serving on the bench of our Supreme Court.” Principal Anna Dickinson attended Judge Mitchelmore’s swearing in ceremony. “Anna has served as a member of our School Board offering her wise counsel in the governance of Loreto Kirribilli ... we wish her all the very best in her new appointment and thank her for her continual support and encouragement.”
