2025 - Year of Gratitude
This year, I have felt so warmly welcomed by every member of our College community. Your support and warmth have truly made my transition here a joy. I am so excited for the years ahead in this thriving community, which is actively shaping a hope-filled future. I have witnessed endless examples of faith, heart and courage, with gratitude expressed not just in words, but in meaningful actions by our students, staff, families and volunteers.
To all of our College Staff, I continue to witness a deeply connected and proud community that compels one another to go above and beyond, ensuring our young men are afforded the very best educational experience. I am heartened that in this place; we never forget the transformational and generational impact of our deeply human and heartfelt work. I also extend my heartfelt thanks and warmest of farewells to those staff members whose fixed-term contracts have concluded or who have embraced new opportunities in other communities from 2026. Your contributions have left an indelible mark, and we are truly grateful for the dedication, passion and care you have given to our College. You have enriched our story, shaped our community, and your legacy will be treasured always. Please know that you will be fondly remembered and deeply appreciated by all of us.
This week, our school community gathered for a heartfelt Thanksgiving Mass to bid farewell to Br Chris Pritchard (pictured with myself and College Principal Personal Assistant Mrs Lisa Locke). It was a truly special occasion, allowing us all to express our deep gratitude for Br Chris’s unwavering commitment and generous support to the College over the past 28 years. We also celebrated his remarkable milestone of 60 years of service as a Christian Brother in EREA Education, honouring the profound impact he has made on our community.
To our families and volunteers, thank you for your support and commitment to working in partnership with our staff. We hope you know how important you are in our most important work: helping to form young men of character, men of integrity, heart and courage. Young men who will embody the spirit and legacy of Edmund Rice through their understanding that education is a powerful tool for liberation—of themselves and others—leading to real and positive changes in their world.
Christmas is approaching, and our community has shared many blessings. I have witnessed kindness and faith that speak to the spirit of our Catholic tradition. Christmas reminds us of God’s love, made real through the birth of Jesus Christ. Amidst the rush of life, let’s find quiet moments to welcome Christ with open hearts and simple joy.
As we enter the festive season, I invite you to reflect on the kindness and courage shown this year and consider how you might carry these values into the new year ahead. May your homes be filled with peace, your hearts with hope, and your lives with compassion. Let’s continue to share the light of Christ and make a difference—one act of kindness at a time.
Live Jesus in our hearts!

Semester 2 Reports and 2026 Academic Year

As we look toward a new academic year in 2026, let us embrace it with renewed focus and a commitment to excellence, striving to achieve our personal best in all areas of learning and growth.

Identity
From the Dean of Identity: Term 4 - Week 8
India Immersion
Tomorrow morning, 13 Year 11 students and four staff members will depart for a two-week immersion experience in India.
Our journey will take us through Kolkata, Asansol, Puri, and conclude in Varanasi.
This immersion offers students more than just a glimpse into the lives of others—it invites them to walk alongside people whose stories will leave a lasting impact. It’s an opportunity to move beyond observation and enter into genuine encounter.
For me, this will be my seventh visit to India, and each time the experience strikes with the same intensity. You cannot help but be moved when you pass a family sleeping on the streets of Kolkata, wondering about the untold stories behind their lives. Yet, amid these challenges, there is profound beauty—especially in places like Puri, where the Fathers work tirelessly to restore dignity and hope.
Our greatest challenge will be to resist defining anyone by a single story. Instead, we aim to know people deeply, to put faces and names to experiences, and to walk side by side with those we meet. This is the heart of immersion: presence, understanding, and shared humanity.
We look forward to sharing our experiences from this immersion in The Calling in 2026.
Christmas Reflection
The miracle of Jesus’ birth reminds us of the profound meaning of this season. We have been humbled by the generosity of families who contributed to our Christmas hampers.
This year, the Paddy’s Van Ministry continued its mission of serving those on the margins through the Redcliffe Breakfast Club and Emmanuel City Mission. The need is growing—Redcliffe Breakfast Club has seen a surge in patrons, and their pantry struggles to keep pace. These patrons are not strangers; they are our friends, and we strive to walk their journey with them.
Personally, I have returned from recent Van experiences deeply affected by the increasing number of families and young children in need. It is a stark reminder that the birth of Jesus calls us to seek out those who need our care. His ministry was rooted in seeing the dignity of every person and responding with love and service.
As we celebrate this season, let us keep in our hearts those whom Jesus would have welcomed to His table. May we continue to be His hands and feet in the world.

Rite Journey 2025: Mentor Expo, The Return & The Homecoming
This year, our Year 9 students completed one of the most meaningful formation experiences offered at St Patrick’s College through The Rite Journey. From the initial Calling and Departure experience to the closing rituals of The Return and The Homecoming, the gentlemen walked a path of reflection, responsibility and personal growth.
A central pillar of the program was the Mentor component—an intentional reminder that it truly takes a village to raise a child. Throughout adolescence, our young men need steady, values-aligned adults who can walk beside them, especially when other relationships face strain. The Mentor Program broadened each young man’s network of positive influence, connecting him with a trusted adult who could guide, listen, challenge and celebrate him across the year.
Under their mentor’s guidance, each student undertook a mentor-directed Project. The open-ended nature of the task encouraged genuine individuality. Some boys built or repaired items, others cooked, designed artwork, learnt new skills, or created music. The shared hours spent working, talking and reflecting became as meaningful as the final products themselves.
These projects were proudly showcased at the 2025 Mentor Expo, held in the Christian Brothers Building (CBB). This exhibition provided families, mentors, staff and students with an inspiring snapshot of the relationships and conversations that shaped the year. It also marked the transition into The Return, where students paused to reflect on the lessons, milestones and challenges that have shaped their journey toward adulthood.

The year concluded with The Homecoming Ceremony held on Monday evening; a moving celebration honouring each students’ growth. The Year 9 ensemble, conducted by Mrs Fiona Engwirda, created goosebump-inducing musical moments that elevated the whole ritual.
As part of the evening, we also acknowledged students who embodied the values and spirit of The Rite Journey during the Year 9 Camp:
- Man of Camp – Best and Fairest - Awarded to the young man who consistently demonstrated leadership, integrity, participation and positivity. Congratulations to Sam Allison, Adam Singer, Zach Hose, Thomas Caldwell, Goldit Mabor, Ben Clynes, Oliver Howe, Albie Royes and Nathanael Passagne.
- Champion of Camp – Recognition Award - Voted as the student who showed resilience, kindness and a genuine desire to lift others up—often in quiet, powerful way. Congratulations to Finley Peppler, Matthew Underdown, Lewis Copping, Xavier Ballinger, Jaxon McKean, Declan McGuire, Jacob Blyth, Harvey Mortimer, Oliver Howell and Aaron Nmanii.
These awards reflect the heart of The Rite Journey and our Touchstones—young men stepping forward as leaders, caring for their peers, and contributing to a community where each person feels seen and supported.
We also recognised the students nominated by their peers and staff for consistently living out the expectations and values of the program with the Men of Action House Awards. Congratulations to the following students:
- Coffey House: Owen Cruice
- Kennedy House: Michael Magro
- Mooney House: Macarthur Petersen
- O'Rourke House: Adam Singer
- Rice House: Thomas Caldwell
- Ryan House: Finn Marlow
- Quane House: Oliver Howe
- Treacy House: Goldit Mabor
- Xavier House: Marius Graham
Together, these milestones, celebrations and acknowledgements affirmed each boy’s commitment to becoming a compassionate, responsible Man of Action.
As this chapter closes, we eagerly await the arrival of our next Rite Journey cohort, confident that they too will embrace the call like those who have gone before them.
Staff and Administration
From the Deputy Principal - Term 4 - Week 8
As we approach the close of another year, I would like to sincerely thank all our parents for their wonderful support. The role of parents within the St Patrick’s College community, and in supporting their sons, is vital to the success of our school. This year has been one of continued growth and achievements, made possible by the positive contribution of our parents.
I also extend my gratitude to the staff members who will conclude their journey with us at the end of the year. We wish them every success as they embark on the next phase of their professional journey.
With the holidays now upon families, parents often ask the question of what to do to keep their sons engaged. Hopefully, the holidays will be a time for families to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. The greatest gift we can give our children is time together. Make the most of these opportunities and enrich your son’s life.
Finally, I wish to thank and congratulate all staff, students, and parents for the tremendous support you have given me this year, and for the enormous contribution you have made to the St Patrick’s community throughout 2025.
May this Christmas be safe, joyous, and filled with family moments to cherish.
Have a wonderful Christmas.

Honouring Our Graduates: A Farewell Filled with Heart and Tradition
This year’s Year 12 Graduation and Final Assembly was a wonderful celebration of achievement, reflection, and what it means to stand authentically shoulder to shoulder.

The event began with an insightful address from our College Principal, Mrs Amber Hauff, who spoke with warmth and wisdom about the resilience and growth of this graduating cohort. Her words captured the essence of their journey and the bright futures that await.
Adding a deeply personal touch, St Patrick’s College parent Mrs Jaylene Moore, mother of Luke, shared heartfelt reflections that resonated with students and families alike. Her perspective reminded everyone of the shared sacrifices and triumphs that have shaped these young men.
Head of Digital Learning, Mr Nic Consiglio, offered a unique staff voice, painting a vivid picture of the challenges and milestones that defined the boys’ time at the College. His speech was both humorous and profound, highlighting the strong bonds forged between staff and students.
To conclude the formal addresses, our College Captain, Henley Thomas (middle with Vice Captains Isaac Caruana left and Alex Bullock right), delivered his final words with grace and gratitude. His message was a powerful reminder of leadership, friendship, and the enduring spirit of the College community.

The ceremony culminated with an emotional and long-standing tradition—the Guard of Honour—as the graduates walked arm in arm through the College grounds for the final time. In a beautifully symbolic full circle, they exited via the front driveway, retracing the steps of their very first day eight years ago, where parents and loved ones awaited with pride and open arms.

This farewell was more than an ending; it was a celebration of beginnings, a testament to growth, and a moment that will live in the hearts of all who were present.

To all the staff who have walked their own journey alongside the students—thank you. To the parents, friends, and extended families—thank you for trusting your sons to the SPC community.
May these young men continue to hold our College in their hearts with pride and may they always continue to Certa Bonum Certamen – Fight the Good Fight.

Year 5 Camp – Stepping out of comfort and into fun
Late last month, 126 enthusiastic Year 5 students, accompanied by nine dedicated staff members, embarked on a two-day adventure at Apex Camps, Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast. Designed to be both fun and transformative, the camp provided students with opportunities to step outside their comfort zones - physically through activities like rock climbing, mud pit challenges, low ropes, archery, and canoeing, and socially by fostering new connections and teamwork. A heartfelt thank you goes to Mrs Chelsea Tongia, Ms Shannon Gibb, Mr Steven McCulloch, Mr Joel Judd, Miss Eliana Bryant, Mr Doug Locke, Mr Paul Johnson, Mr Joshua Neilsen, Mr Ryan Malpass, and Miss Melissa Rudd for their invaluable contributions to making the camp a memorable experience for all. Below are some reflections from our students on their experience at camp.
My experience of Apex Year 5 camp was amazing, fun and challenging. My favourite activity was the mud run. It is a fun muddy experience that my mum would never let me do at home. The mud was really slippery, and it had lots of obstacles along the way. The most challenging part of camp for me was the rock climbing. This was challenging because I hate heights. But the Apex staff supported and helped me at the start and I pushed myself above my limits and reached new heights of over halfway. I was super proud. My advice for the next year’s campers would be taking old clothes that you probably won’t wear again and give every activity a go. Also, the food was delicious! - Flint Grainger
Camp was very fun. Archery was my favourite by far. I’ve never done it before but that’s what made it fun. My advice for next year’s campers is be prepared - it could be a disaster if you don’t have even one thing and always try the activities. Something challenging was the mud run - you have to army crawl, pull a lot of tyres, climb around a wall and hardest of all, walk through weird green sludge stuff and then crawl through more tyres. The food there is delicious as well. One night they made amazing pasta and garlic bread. So, overall camp is super fun and creative. - Oliver Butterly
It was an interesting time at camp. When I arrived, it was a bit crazy, but I managed to settle into camp quickly. The food there was great, there even were chippies for lunch! My favourite activity at Apex Camp was mud pit - it was great seeing people who don’t usually talk to each other become cooperative! The dorms were just four rooms with bunk beds in them, but at least they were comfy. Although, I found it a bit hard to do the climbing wall, as I was not the best climber there. For the new Year 5s, I would say to try everything! From food to activities, from missing your family to having a good time with your mates, try everything possible and you will thank yourself later. You might then even be able to get up the climbing wall! - Daniel Kelly
At camp we experienced many different things from physical activities to great food. The activities ranged from physical like nighttime Olympics, to skill such as archery or even whatever you wanted to do in the self-run session. The best activity was rock climbing or archery because in rock climbing, we managed to complete all the walls, even the hard one, which made our hands super sore. In archery we weren't the best but we still managed to almost get a bullseye and hit every colour but the bullseye on the target. Camp was great but there were a lot of people in the cabins which caused a bit of a rough sleep. We would have liked more time at the campsite, maybe three days and two nights. - Charlie Bale and William Oxley

Year 5 Celebration – A joyful end to a wonderful year
Last week, our Year 5 students and their families came together to celebrate the end of their first year at the College. The occasion was a joyful blend of music and heartfelt reflections on what has truly been a wonderful year for our boys.
Throughout the morning, we were treated to outstanding performances from the Year 5 Percussion Ensemble, Concert Band, String Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra, and Cohort Choir. These talented young musicians showcased the skills they have developed over the year, filling the hall with energy, rhythm, and harmony.

Adding to the celebration were representatives from each of our five Year 5 classes—Arnold Wheeler, Joshua Titman, Ben Westacott, Luka Baker, and Charlie Bale—who shared their reflections on the year that has been. Their words captured the heart and spirit of growth, friendship, and achievement that have defined this cohort’s first chapter at the College.
Following the formalities, families and students enjoyed a delightful morning tea together. After so much musicianship, fun, and celebration, it’s safe to say not a single crumb was left behind!
A heartfelt thank you goes to our teaching staff, Music Department, Property and Maintenance Team, Marketing Office, and the College Leadership Team for their hard work and support in making the morning such a success.
We also acknowledge our students for the enthusiasm and commitment they brought to each rehearsal and to the performance day itself, as well as the parents who joined us and generously provided share plates for morning tea.
It was truly wonderful to see our community come together for such a meaningful occasion, celebrating what has been an exceptional first year for our students at St Patrick’s College.
