Faith, Justice and Formation

New Head of Identity - Middle School

We welcome on board our new Head of Identity (Middle School), Mr Cyrano Menezes.

He is starting to settle in and embrace all things St Patrick’s. Mr Menezes is a faith-filled Christian gentleman who comes to us with great experience from previous settings. No doubt you will make him welcome. 

All matters related to Identity in the Middle School are to be directed to Mr Menezes at cyrano.menezes@spc.nsw.edu.au.
