ANZAC DAY COMMEMORATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Special thanks to all students and families involved with the St Patrick\u2019s College Townsville commemoration of ANZAC Day with the Liturgy and Strand March. I was moved by the service and proud of our students with the respect that they showed towards the occasion. Our special thanks to Captain Alexander Aitchison for enlightening the students on the values of Leadership and to Musician Helen Baker from Lavarack Barracks for performing The Last Post<\/em>. A special mention to Mr Goulter\u2019s Brass Trio and the Liturgy Choir, featuring Kenya Mari, who captivated the audience with their version of Amazing Grace<\/em>. Well done to all the Hospitality students for their amazing efforts making over 600 Anzac Cookies for the College \u2013 they were both delicious and well presented.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DEFENCE MORNING TEA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our next Defence Morning Tea will be in A05, Monday 10th<\/sup> May. Our project this term will be to enter the competition, \u201cThe Crosses of Flanders Fields\u201d, where as a school we will design a cross for display at the Army Museum North Queensland, so I encourage the Defence students to bring along their creativity.<\/p>\n

SUPPORT SERVICES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time apart from families due to deployments, training or other Service requirements is an integral feature of Defence life. The services of Defence Community Organisation (DCO), Defence Families Australia and Open Arms are able to inform and prepare you for these times and provide you with support to make these experiences manageable, positive and strengthening ones for your family.<\/p>\n
