Ann D Clark Trust

The Ann D Clark Scholarship was developed in honour of Ann D Clark. Ann had a distinguished career in all levels of Catholic Education and experience as a secondary school teacher and administrator in Australia and New Zealand. Ann held the position of Executive Director of Schools in the Diocese of Parramatta and was a foundation member of the Western Sydney University's Board of Governors.

'Excellence' was a word which came naturally to Ann and she was resolute in encouraging everyone to 'soar with their strengths'. To those she touched, and to those within her extensive sphere, she made a difference. Ann also understood that education does not just begin and end in school and from her position in Parramatta she was able to influence education across the country for the betterment of all involved.

The Ann D Clark Scholarship is supported by friends and family of Ann to assist female students pursuing tertiary studies at Western Sydney University.
