St Michael Award
The St Michael Award was instituted in the School's centenary year, 1996, with the following criteria:
- The candidate must be a living Old Boy of Michaelhouse
- He must have devoted a considerable period of his life to serving his fellow man and the services so rendered shall be of an exceptional and selfless nature
- The candidate should not have been motivated by personal gain or fame
- Some element of personal sacrifice, although not essential, may well provide evidence of the selflessness of the contribution which the candidate has made
The last characteristic has to do with St Michael himself. St Michael is one of the seven Archangels and also one of the three mentioned by name in the scriptures, twice in the Old Testament and twice in the New. The name Michael is a variation of Micah, meaning in Hebrew, ?Who is Like God?.
In framing the criteria for the award, the St Michael candidate will ideally display the characteristics exemplified by St Michael: courage, compassion and a willingness to fight for truth and justice.
At a moving ceremony in the Schlesinger Theatre on Friday June 05, the award was bestowed on Mr Peter Harris and Mr Francois Junod. Their citations are below.
