George Capsis has received a NSW Government Community Service award for his support of some of the most vulnerable and marginalised in our community.
The NSW Government Community Service Award recognises individuals in NSW who have substantially helped to improve the quality of life of members of their community. This is beyond what would reasonably be expected in their usual occupation.
George founded Community Outreach Ministries in 1987 and has provided support to people disadvantaged by mental illness, homelessness, drug or alcohol abuse, suicide and family crisis.
In 2006 George received the Order of Australia Medal for his service to the community through the Community Outreach Ministries.
Each year Community Outreach Ministries holds an event in Cronulla to promote crucial public issues. This May, the “Good News Day” event highlighted people with disability and the work of their carers.
George has also represented the community in his role as a Sutherland Shire Councillor from 2008 to 2012 and was elected to the role of deputy mayor in 2011/2012.
George also served for a period of 17 years from 1986 as the Cronulla Sharks Rugby League team chaplain.
George is an active member of his community and is a deserving recipient of the NSW Government Community Service Award.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Remembrance Day 2024 at the Martin Place Cenotaph.

The Cronulla High School upgrade recently reached a major milestone, with the second of two new buildings now being used for staff and students.
The new ‘Building L’ was ready for Term 3 and followed the opening of the new ‘Building M’ for the start of 2024. Across the two buildings there are ten new classrooms, as well as staff spaces, student and staff amenities, a new canteen, an administration area, and new staff car park.
The school hall was also recently extended, together with a new library entrance and improved walkways. The school upgrade is due to be completed early next year, with renovations within two additional existing buildings to provide more classrooms, storage, staff facilities and bathrooms.
The school’s upgrade was planned, designed and funded by the NSW Liberals, with great input from the school community.

Today I visited Corowa with Justin Clancy MP to stand in solidarity with local community leaders, and to discuss the way forward, after the recent shocking visit by around 50 masked neo-Nazi cowards to the town and subsequent likely related events. Every Australian has the right to live in safety, free from this disgusting, intimidatory behaviour. ... See MoreSee Less

What a charming group of NSW Young Liberals you have here attending Sydney University. Mocking and making fun of violence against women. You can clearly see their faces which makes them extremely identifiable. Are you going to sweep this under the rug or do something about it. www.facebook.com/SarahJBakersTeacup/videos/1639825326627954/

Hey mark it would be great if you could build a metro line from Hurstville to Miranda and. Cronulla that would also go through ramsgate, sans souci. Taren point. It would allow the Sutherland shire to link up with St George and then the airport
