As a St Patrick’s College house leader in 2023, I now stand on the precipice of graduation, where I find myself reflecting on my time throughout secondary school.
I will take away the encouragement provided by teachers and role models, the support system of friends and peers who travelled with me on this journey, and a sense of self that will drive me into my next chapter of life.
As a senior leader, I have learned to value hard work and determination, skills needed to achieve my future aspirations.
As I graduate into adulthood, I want to make the world a place where genuine connection still holds significance within our increasingly technological world.
The idea of leaving the comfort of a community that has been so influential to me does seem daunting at times; but St Patrick’s College has equipped me with a set of skills, attitudes, and beliefs that will serve as my compass as I enter new and unchartered waters.
To be raised in a school community like St Patrick’s College is something that I am incredibly grateful for and, as I graduate, I hope to carry the spirit of St Patrick’s College with me, contributing positively to the world and creating a community wherever I go.
