Building our Future – the Campaign for St. Patrick’s College Cultur al and Sporting Precinct
St. Patrick’s College will soon embark on the next stage of its Master Plan. The construction of the Cultural and Sporting Precinct in Pier Avenue will cost over $8 million and will enable the College to continue to provide essential resources for our current and future students. The Precinct will house individual music rehearsal spaces, state of the art recording studios, modern creative arts classrooms and an innovative multisport court, which can be converted into a 2,000 seat auditorium. Early in 2015 members of the St. Patrick’s College community will have the chance to purchase a seat in the new building. This unique opportunity will provide an ideal way for your family’s name to go down in history. Keep your eye out for further details.

Foundation Events St. Patrick’s College recently hosted a marquee at the Deagon Community Race Day. Our Bollywood theme proved a hit and we can be confident in saying that once again the St. Patrick’s College marquee was the “talk of the town”. Guests were treated to a fabulous feast (including buffet) courtesy of the Coffee Club, Bollywood dancers and
the opportunity to embrace the Indian culture through henna painting. Thanks to our major sponsors the Coffee Club Sandgate. Their support ensured the day was an overwhelming success. We also must thank our silver sponsors Sandgate Physical Health Clinic and Wired Orthodontics.
Earlier in the year, the St. Patrick’s College Foundation hosted yet another successful Business Breakfast. This year we welcomed back past student and former College Captain, Hayden Neeland. Hayden has a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Commerce (Economics) from Monash University. Hayden’s reflection on his journey from a past student to an associate in the investment banking division at Morgan Stanley, proved both inspirational and motivating. Hayden can be rightfully proud of his many achievements since his graduation only eleven years ago. Special thanks to our breakfast sponsors Sandgate Pest Control, Tax Free, Hunter Premium Funding and Coffee Club Sandgate. In 2015, the Foundation will once again host a series of fundraising events. Keep your eye out for further details.

Willis Group Bursary Special thanks to Paul MacDermott and the Willis Group for their generous commitment to support a bursary student in 2015 and for the next 6 years. The Willis Group’s contribution to the bursary program during this time will be well over $50 000. This year we welcomed our first bursary recipient to the College while in 2015 we are offering two bursaries – The Edmund Rice Bursary and the Willis Group Bursary. Bursaries are open to new students (currently not enrolled) whose families face financial hardship and subsequently would not have an opportunity to attend St. Patrick’s College. Applications for 2015 bursaries are currently closed but we will notify the College community when 2016 bursary applications are advertised. We thank Paul and the Willis Group for their constant support and generosity. What a wonderful gift and life changing opportunity for a future St. Patrick’s College young man.
