Thomas Steel is the New SKOCA President

Saint Kentigern Old Collegians Association (SKOCA) welcomes its new president, Thomas Steel, as he takes over the reins from Hayden Butler, following the AGM held on 29 June. A dedicated alumnus of Saint Kentigern College, Steel brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to the association’s mission.

As the current National Supply Chain Manager at Big Chill Distribution, Steel’s expertise lies in efficiently managing complex logistical operations and fostering collaborative relationships. His professional background equips him with valuable skills in strategic planning, problem-solving, and effective communication, which he now brings to SKOCA.

During his time at Saint Kentigern College from 1995 to 2001, Thomas established himself as an accomplished student, taking advantage of the many opportunities that the College offered, including sport, representing the College in the rowing programme for a number of years. He excelled in various leadership roles and developed a strong sense of community spirit, which has carried over into his present role.

Upon assuming the role as the President, Thomas expressed his excitement for the future of SKOCA, stating, “Having been a member of the Old Collegians Association for over 10 years, it is an exciting time to take over the role of President from Hayden. Having been involved with the school, as a student, and now as a parent, it is great to see our schools holding on to many of our tradition and values whilst providing an exceptional education to lead our children to the future.” The committee members and I are committed to create even more opportunities for Old Collegians to network and connect.

The new committee members, Ms Sharnika Leleni as Vice President, Mr Matthew Jones as Secretary, and Mr Daniel Quigley as Treasurer, also deserve recognition for their dedication and commitment to the association’s growth and success.

With a dynamic new leadership team in place, SKOCA looks forward to building upon its legacy of fostering lifelong connections among its members and supporting the continued success of Saint Kentigern graduates.
