New Teachers

Colm McCaughan

Our Religion Faculty is extremely fortunate to have Colm McCaughan at its Head. Colm felt a strong calling to become a teacher and hopes that through example, our students can develop their own relationship with God. Colm was awarded the Excellence in Teaching Award by the Teachers Guild of NSW in 2023 in recognition of his work as Assistant Dean of Ministry at Rosebank. Another great achievement was coaching his Rugby 7s team to the NSW Rugby School State Championships during his time at Patrician Brothers Blacktown. Colm also enjoys his sport and is a Rugby Union referee including officiating the Shute Shield and a variety of other fixtures such as GPS First XV. During the summer months Colm dones his gloves and pads and plays cricket.
