The Fred Hollows Humanity Awards are a global movement created to recognise passionate children striving to make the world around them better.
The next Fred Hollows could be a little girl, a little boy, a little miracle worker! A child with the compassion, integrity and kindness to walk in Fred’s shoes.
Any Year 5 or 6 student who has demonstrated the values of compassion, integrity and kindness. When selecting your nominees, think of specific examples of when the student has demonstrated these qualities.
Each school can nominate a maximum of two students.
