Congratulations Class of 2018
It is with excitement and pleasure that I commence 2019 as a new leader in such a tremendous and reputable school. St Patrick's College has had nearly 180 years of successfully educating the young citizens of the Macarthur region, and I am fortunate to now be a part of its splendid story. The enthusiasm and passion for learning have been evident in the initial conversations I have had with our students across Years 7-12. They are a wonderful group of young women, and I look forward to getting to know them all individually in the years to come.
As Assistant Principal Learning and Teaching, I recognise how integral it is that we as a community put forth a strong vision that imbues the Catholic traditions of the College, including embracing the Benedictine values espoused in our College's Academic Care Framework.
A new school year brings excitement, new beginnings, new opportunity and challenges. Learning is at the heart of our College community as we nurture and deepen the spirit of compassion, hospitality and welcome that will be necessary to 'receive all as Christ'.
HSC Results
The 2018 HSC results are a fitting and just reward for the hard work of a determined group of students, the commitment of their dedicated teachers, as well as the ongoing support of their families. All Year 12 students of 2018 can be very proud of their achievements, satisfied with their efforts over the two years working towards their HSC. These students will always be a part of Macarthur's top performing catholic school of 2018.
We will acknowledge these achievements at the High Achievers Assembly on Wednesday, 13 February at 9am. We hope to see many of our graduates in attendance.
