DIRECTOR OF BOARDING

WELCOME BACK

I’ve been so proud of how quickly the girls have settled back into routine in Term Three and the support that the older girls always provide to their younger St Patrick’s sisters. We’ve also welcomed a beautiful new sister who has travelled all the way from the Philippines to be with us. The vibrancy and rich culture of our boarding house is so special and unique.
