ALUMNI
2021 EVENTS
Founded in 1878, St Patrick’s College Townsville is the oldest Independent School in the area. It holds a very special place in the hearts of past-pupils, and we are committed to finding ways to celebrate College camaraderie and build new Alumni relationships. We are delighted to offer three Alumni events this year: Drinks at Dusk, Tales over Tea and Lunch at Tattersalls. Alumni may attend any or all events.
ALUMNI EVENT ONE
Our first Alumni event will be held in the magnificent East Precinct Auditorium and is the perfect opportunity to celebrate college connections, old and new. Attendees will enjoy delicious canapés, drinks and light entertainment. We hope that attendees will contribute a photograph of their time at the College for our archives. Our Drinks at Dusk guest speaker will be announced soon.

ALUMNI RECORDS
We are delighted to welcome past, Mrs Judy Newman to our team. Judy is a past student of St Patrick’s College Townsville and proud Dominations House Captain (1974). She has begun the task of archiving old College records. This process will take many years, but if anyone is up to the challenge, it is Judy. With an encyclopedic knowledge of Townsville, familial connections and the history of the College, she is the perfect person to oversee this task.
Anyone willing to assist Judy with this task is welcome to contact the College through: office@stpatscollege.qld.edu.au.
A VISIT FROM WENDY MAKIN
Last Friday, Wendy Makin (nee Offermans) visited the College. For the past 30 years, Wendy Makin Bridal Designs has been synonymous with couture, romance and style. Wendy brought with her two suitcases bursting with glorious finery from Wendy’s enormous collection of bespoke Bridal and evening dresses. Wendy gifted these to the College’s Arts Department and Ms Kelly is already planning a performance to feature these magnificent dresses. We were overwhelmed with her generosity.
Wendy and other members of her graduating class meet each year to celebrate this milestone. We love welcoming alumni back to the College and hearing of their time at St Patrick’s College Townsville.
