2024 is proving to be a very eventful year in the life of the College as we have embarked on the development of a new Strategic Plan; reviewed our Risk Management strategy and structures for oversight; farewelled one Director and welcomed two new Directors; and set about a recruitment process to find a new Principal for 2025 in\u00a0 light of Amber Hauff\u2019s decision to return to Brisbane and take up the principalship of St Patrick\u2019s College, Shorncliffe.<\/p>\n

On 1 August, Nathan Toll was appointed as a Director on the Board of Governance. Nathan is currently the Communications and Engagement Manager at our Townsville Mater. He brings to the Board experience and skills in Marketing and Communications, Advocacy (government\/political acumen), Event Planning and Management and Strategic Planning. Nathan is excited about his appointment and writes:<\/p>\n

“I am proud to join the Board of St Patrick’s College Townsville to support its Vision to foster ambition and compassion to create a better world. Community, compassion, and expressing Mercy are at the core of what we do, and I believe my skills will enable the Board to further build on this Vision through these core pillars.”<\/p>\n

The Board engaged the services of the Recruiting Agency Fisher Leadership <\/em>to conduct the process for the recruitment of a new Principal for the College to commence in 2025.\u00a0 To date, the applications have closed and preliminary interviews are close to being completed. Once we have received the shortlisted candidates, our panel will interview each one and make the final selection.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, let us hold each other in prayer and support each other as we work continuously to enhance this wonderful enterprise we call St Patrick\u2019s College Townsville.<\/p>\n
