Terry Derham receives Community Award for his service to St Mary’s

Congratulations to Terry Derham for receiving a 2024 Jaga Jaga Volunteer Award from MP Kate Thwaites for over 30 years of service to St Mary’s.

Terry’s journey began in 1991 when his sons joined the footy team. Despite a hectic schedule, Terry stepped up as Team Manager and later took on coaching roles, even though he’d never played footy himself!

His commitment extended to founding the senior club, serving as its first secretary and still acting as Team Manager today. In recognition for his service, he has been awarded Life Membership of both the Junior and Senior Club.

Terry’s dedication to St Mary’s over the past 30 years has truly left a positive mark on our community. With his passion firmly instilled in his kids and grandkids, Terry will undoubtedly be with us for a long time to come.
