FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

It is with great pleasure that I announce to the St Patrick’s College Townsville Community today that the new Chair of the College Board of Governance will be Ms Josephine Gabrielli.

Josie will bring to this very important role an understanding of the Mercy ethos and tradition, and a genuine commitment to the College mission and values which flows out of her deep spirituality. 

Josie demonstrates considerable knowledge and skills across a wide arena of experience including governance frameworks, financial literacy and risk assessment. She demonstrates a broad knowledge and highly developed skills in property, construction  and project management and is highly respected in that field.

In addition Josie is a health care professional with a positive outlook and good interpersonal skills. She is a highly skilled operator with leadership experience.

I congratulate Josie on her appointment to the role of Chair of the Board and wish her every success as she takes up the role on July 1. I have every confidence that the College will be in good and safe hands with Josie at the helm.

Sr Helen Mary Peters
