Old Collegian Drew Law (Class of 2011) has been announced as one of three Moomba Monarchs for 2021. A Store Support worker at Coles in Eastland, Drew was recognised for going out of his way during the pandemic to make sure his customers were well taken care of.
Drew's thoughtfulness for his community was demonstrated when he arranged to personally deliver the weekly shop for 97-year-old customer Desmond, who had called the store worried that he wouldn't be able to complete his grocery run.
Drew is not our first Moomba monarch. Moomba has always sought community involvement since its early festivals and in 2013 Old Collegian Karla Challis (Class of 1992) was among the community heroes selected to represent their organisations as Kings and Queens of Moomba. Karla was chosen to represent Victoria Police.
The Moomba Festival is being held over this Labour Day long weekend.
Congratulations Drew, we are so very proud of you! You can read more about Drew's story at: https://moomba.melbourne.vic.gov.au/monarchs/
