FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

It is with deep humility and great anticipation that I step into the role of Chair of the College Board of Governance, following the remarkable leadership of my predecessor. I am honoured to be entrusted with this responsibility and grateful for the opportunity to serve a College so rich in tradition, spirit, and purpose.

St Patrick’s College Townsville has long stood as a beacon of Mercy values – faith, compassion, excellence, and justice. As we move forward, I am committed to ensuring that these values continue to guide our decisions and shape the future of our College. I am inspired by the legacy of those who have come before me, especially the Sisters of Mercy, whose vision and dedication have laid the foundation for all that we are today.

In this Jubilee Year, as we embrace the call to be Pilgrims of Hope, I look forward to working alongside our dedicated Board Directors, Principal, College Leadership Team, and staff. Together, we will continue to nurture a learning environment where young women are empowered to grow in faith, flourish academically, and lead with courage.

To our students and families; you are at the heart of everything we do. Your energy, aspirations, and trust fuel our mission. I am excited to walk this journey with you, confident that the future of St Patrick’s College Townsville is bright and full of promise.

May the Spirit of Mercy continue to guide us all as we begin this new chapter together.
