“We are so excited and proud of Emma receiving the Arch Bishop Scholarship for Sancta Sophia College. We could not think of a more caring, nuturing and happy environment for Emma to reside in away from home to develop and grow with confidence and grace. Thank you and please forward our gratitude on to all Sancta Sophia College staff for all your support and care for Emma and the wonderful opportunity the Scholarship offers her.”
Fiona Roffey, mother of Emma Roffey, recipient of the Archbishop of Sydney Scholarship
