We congratulate Amber on this promotional opportunity which sees her return to her hometown of Brisbane. Be assured that Amber will continue in her role as Principal of St Patrick\u2019s College Townsville for the duration of the 2024 academic year, and she leaves with us a strong leadership team who will continue the good work she has begun.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the Board of Directors of St Patrick\u2019s College Townsville, I want to thank Amber for her ministry among us \u2013 four years as Deputy Principal and the current five-year term as Principal. During this time, she has breathed life and energy into our College through her strong, creative, innovative and future-oriented leadership.
