Tom Mae – Retirement

For nearly five decades, Mr Tom Mae has been an inspiration in the field of education. With an unwavering commitment to helping students achieve their best, he has touched countless lives, fostering a love for learning and personal growth in each student who he has taught.

Mr Mae is not only a hard-working educator but also a faith-filled individual whose values and principles have guided his teaching journey. As a practising Catholic, he has successfully incorporated the values of the Gospel into his work, creating a faith community that brings the Gospel and teachings of Christ to students, families, and staff. His engagement and contribution to the life and mission of the Catholic Church is evident in every aspect of his professional and personal life.

Many students look towards Mr Mae as a father figure. An example of this was earlier this year when he presented a senior badge to a student at the opening school mass. While other students had their parents present, this particular student had no family in attendance and asked Mr Mae to stand in for them. This act of support exemplifies the deep bond he forms with his students, always going above and beyond to ensure they feel loved and supported.

Mr Mae’s professional life has been lived in service to others, the impact of his dedication is evident in the success and confidence of his students, his legacy is one of profound faith, passion and perseverance, making him a truly remarkable educator.

We wish Mr Mae well in his retirement.

Mrs Christine Harding
