ALUMNI RECORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are delighted to welcome past, Mrs Judy Newman to our team. Judy is a past student of St Patrick’s College Townsville and proud Dominations House Captain (1974). She has begun the task of archiving old College records. This process will take many years, but if anyone is up to the challenge, it is Judy. With an encyclopedic knowledge of Townsville, familial connections and the history of the College, she is the perfect person to oversee this task.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone willing to assist Judy with this task is welcome to contact the College through: office@stpatscollege.qld.edu.au.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A VISIT FROM WENDY MAKIN\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last Friday, Wendy Makin (nee Offermans) visited the College. For the past 30 years, Wendy Makin Bridal Designs<\/em> has been synonymous with couture, romance and style. Wendy brought with her two suitcases bursting with glorious finery from Wendy’s enormous collection of bespoke Bridal and evening dresses. Wendy gifted these to the College’s Arts Department and Ms Kelly is already planning a performance to feature these magnificent dresses. We were overwhelmed with her generosity.<\/p>\n

Wendy and other members of her graduating class meet each year to celebrate this milestone. We love welcoming alumni back to the College and hearing of their time at St Patrick’s College Townsville.<\/p>\n
