GOSPEL SPRIRITUALITY 004 ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE STRATHFIELD LUMEN 2024 DEPUTY PRINCIPAL Mr A Byrne Deputy Principal As I reflect on the past year, our school has experienced a period of remarkable stability and progress. The unwavering commitment of our staff, students, and community has fostered an environment of excellence and growth that we can all be proud of. I must pay tribute to the Class of 2024 who have set a new standard for leadership within our school. Their dedication, innovation, and compassion have left an indelible mark on our community. From organising whole school events to their mentoring of younger students, these graduating seniors have truly embodied the values we hold dear. Their legacy will continue to inspire those leaders who are still to come, and they indeed will leave the College gates, ‘letting their lights shine.’ I must thank our dedicated staff. They continue to provide our students with expert guidance both in and out of the classroom. They have worked hard to implement and plan for new syllabuses and ensure that every child is catered for. Their commitment to the College Co-curricular Program ensures that we are fulfilling our commitment to our parent body and catering for the whole child. This year marked a significant milestone as we successfully implemented our new transition programs for students entering Middle School and Senior School. These carefully crafted initiatives have eased the academic and social challenges often associated with these pivotal transitions, resulting in improved student wellbeing and academic performance which was evident in the outcomes of our Perspectives Surveys. I would particularly like to thank Mr Simpson, Mr Sinadinos, and the Year Coordinators for their leadership in this area. I would also like to thank the staff in Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6). After a few years of transition, they have been ably led by Mrs Sarah Tatola and Mr Daniel Fields as well as Mr Alexandros Sinadinos. We are seeing improved student outcomes particularly in numeracy through targeted intervention. This holds our students in good stead as they progress into high school. Finally, I would like to thank our parent community. I thank you for entrusting the care of your sons to us. I thank you for continuing to foster a sense of community. I would especially like to thank our Parents’ and Friends’ Executive and the leadership of their President, Eleana Ierardo. The dedication of our Parents’ and Friends’ Executive ensures that all the students in the College are supported. I look forward to more parents getting involved in helping out at College events, this will only make our community stronger.
