The Very Reverend Father Cary Mansell
Senior Chaplain, St. Michael's Grammar School
St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia
I have known Luke Girke even before he came to St Michael’s when he was baptised with his older Sister in the School Chapel. Since he began at the School at the beginning of 2006, I have seen Luke regularly. His family are well respected by all sectors of the Community.
I have always found Luke to be a warm and engaging person, willing to be involved in any activity that the School might offer. His work as the Head Server has been outstanding; he has shown a great deal of maturity in showing leadership amongst his peers, who regard him highly. His commitment to Basketball has shown his ability to manage his time well.
In 2011 Luke was awarded the Community of the Sisters of the Church Award for outstanding leadership of the Chapel. The Awardee is chosen by the Head of the School [Simon Gipson OAM] and the Senior Chaplain and is regarded as a significant honour.
I have no hesitation in recommending Luke…
