John Marsden had a passion for law, a love of life and a commitment to minority groups within our community and less privileged individuals and communities.
John was a product of south west Sydney. He was born and raised at Campbelltown, and on completion of his law degree at the University of Sydney, commenced practice in Campbelltown. That practice, now known as Marsdens Law Group, is the biggest and most successful in south west Sydney.
John was active in all areas of the community both locally within the State and nationally. His involvement ranged through the arts world, sporting world and human rights. As President of the Council for Civil Liberties he developed his commitment to the less privileged and those suffering discrimination and intolerance. In particular, he had a passion for the plight of our indigenous community and gay and lesbian men and women.
A gay man himself, John was proud of who he was. Yet, he recognised the discrimination that was rife throughout the community, particularly against gay and lesbian people and our indigenous brothers. On his death in 2006, a fund was established in John's name to assist in the education of young gay and lesbian people and young indigenous people.

Thomas Scahill was the first member of his family to go to university, and it opened his eyes up to a much bigger world. Originally studying Dentistry in Australia, he subsequently went to the United Kingdom to further his experience. Whilst there, the opportunity arose for him to engage in further study, and he subsequently became a Fellow of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons. On return to Australia he was invited to become involved with the Clinical school, and commenced lecturing around Australia, America and the South Pacific Islands. Tom was passionate about education as well as the opportunities it afforded, to such an extent he was able to convince his wife Elizabeth to enrol in a Bachelor Degree. He was an avid reader, and a great talker (‘but tell me a dentist who isn’t!’ his wife Elizabeth notes) as well as a firm believer that if you are going to do something, then you’d better do it well.
