FROM THE ACTING COLLEGE PRINCIPAL

2025 Australian Rowing Championships

Throughout Week 9, two Year 10 students, Georgia Cresswell and Holly Wilkie competed at the Australian Rowing Championships in Tasmania in a range of events in often challenging weather conditions. We continue to be so proud of these incredible young people, who represented St Patrick’s College Townsville with a 6^th place finish in the Schoolgirls’ Double Final and an 8^th place finish in the U17 Double Final, also achieving notable results in their individual events.

Harrison Parks, Head Coach of the Combined (SPCT & IPC) Rowing Program is commended on his leadership and mentorship of these athletes. We can only dare to imagine their future at this level. Bring on the 2025 Rowing Season!

What makes our community so unique is how we celebrate and support one another to grow and flourish. I continue to be inspired by the incredible talent and passion of our staff and student body, across all dimensions of the College, academic, public speaking, music, dance, performing arts, visual arts and sport, who demonstrate an unwavering commitment to personal excellence in their chosen field/passion.

Incoming College Principal

Kath Little will take up her position of College Principal at the beginning of Term 2. We are looking forward to her bringing her passion for all girls’ education and years of experience in school leadership to the College. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the staff who have stepped up this term to ensure a smooth start to the 2025 year.

Easter Holidays

As a Catholic community, the Easter Triduum holds a special place in our liturgical year, marking the culmination of the annual celebration to proclaim the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. With this in mind, I wish all our families a restful and safe holiday break followed by a blessed Easter, and I look forward to welcoming our students for the start of Term 2.
