Introducing our new staff members

Please get to know the wonderful new team members who will be helping support our students to learn and grow in 2020:
 
Gina Governatori – Youth Ministry Coordinator 
“I am very grateful to be given this opportunity to share my years of experience and passion for social justice and religious education at the College. I thank the community for its kindness and warm welcome and I am excited to be extending on the College motto and actions of Serviam in my role as Youth Ministry Coordinator. The way students at St Ursula’s live out the College motto is a legacy of St Angela Merici and a true testament to the Ursuline values. I look forward to supporting our young women with their faith formation. I invite them to have the courage to be agents of change; to make an Ursuline difference and contribute to our society. I endeavour to encourage, foster, nurture, inspire and overcome challenges, while challenging our students to hone in on their great attributes and skills and reach for personal excellence everyday.”
