Last week, students who plan to attend St Patrick’s Technical College in 2025 gathered for a special morning tea with Assistant Head of Campus Robert Polito and Acting Head of Campus Chris Martin. The event was a chance for the students to be recognised for their contributions at the College and to receive a warm send-off as they prepare for their exciting new journey into the trade-focused environment at St Patrick’s.

The students shared their feelings of excitement and anticipation as they looked ahead to starting their ‘tradie life’. While a few nerves were naturally present, the overwhelming sentiment was one of eagerness to embrace the hands-on learning and professional experiences that St Patrick’s offers.

Both Mr Polito and Mr Martin took the opportunity to acknowledge the positive impact these students have had during their time at the College, offering their best wishes for the future. The morning tea also served as a reminder that, while the students are about to embark on a new chapter, they leave the College with the full support and blessings of the community.
