Mick Robbers Memorial Scholarship for 2024
Through the generosity of the Robbers family, we are pleased to announce Ben Soli as the second recipient of the Mick Robbers Memorial Scholarship. The annual scholarship is open to St Patrick's College school leavers who wish to continue their rugby at Marist St Pats.
The scholarship is awarded to a student who has demonstrated excellent school values and contribution to St Patrick’s College. The student will receive a financial contribution to put towards their future education or development.
This is a great way to honour the late Mick Robbers, a club legend who was our first Premier captain and later Club President. Mick held strong ties to both the club and St Patrick's College. The first recipient in 2023 was Francis Mettrick.
