2026 Old Flinderians Association'
Excellence in Life Awards
Launched in 2025 to mark 35 years of Flinders, the Old Flinderians’ Association Excellence in Life Awards celebrate our alumni who continue to live the Flinders spirit.
These awards honour Old Flinderians whose lives reflect the lifelong love of learning nurtured during their time at Flinders, and who continue to lead with purpose, curiosity and character. They also strengthen the enduring connection between our alumni and the College, celebrating that once a Flinderian, always a Flinderian.
