Amen.

Staffing News
It is with a heavy heart we announce the departure of Ms Deb Brighton at the end of the year, a cherished member of our St Patrick’s family. Unfortunately the funding provided for the National Schools Chaplaincy Program is not available to us in 2024. As our Pastoral Support Worker, Deb has not only demonstrated exceptional skills and commitment but has also enriched the lives of our students with her unwavering faith, kindness, and passion. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for her contributions to our school community. Deb will be dearly missed, and we wish her every success and fulfilment in her future endeavours. Let us keep Deb in our prayers as she continues to spread the light of knowledge and faith elsewhere.
Miss Glen-Marie Phillips
Last week we celebrated Miss Phillps' well-deserved journey into retirement.
Miss Phillips has been an integral part of our school community, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of countless students. Her passion for education, commitment to excellence, and unwavering support for her students have been truly inspiring.
Throughout her 43 years in Catholic Education, 23 of them here at St Patrick’s, she has not only imparted knowledge but has also been a source of encouragement, motivation, and kindness. Her classrooms have been vibrant spaces of learning, where students have not only grown academically but have also developed a love for learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.
As we express our gratitude for the impact Miss Phillips has had on our school, we also extend our warmest wishes for a retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and new adventures. May this next chapter be as fulfilling and rewarding as the countless lives she’s touched during her time with us.
