Our thoughts are with the family, friends and teammates of UniRoo and UNSW Sydney student Aedyn Pratley (far left), who recently passed away.

Aedyn was a dedicated fencer who proudly represented his clubs, state and country throughout his career. He represented Australia as a UniRoo at both the 2023 and 2025 World University Games and was a valued member of the Australian university sport community.

Away from competition, Aedyn was in the final stages of completing a degree in Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW Sydney.

Aedyn`s family has set up a website where friends, teammates and loved ones can share photos, stories and memories in celebration of his life. We invite those in the UniRoos and UniSport communities to share their favourite memories of Aedyn on this website via the link in our stories.

We extend our deepest condolences to Aedyn`s family, friends, teammates, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
