You're invited! Book launch: Genocide to Regeneration

All members of the St Patrick's College community are warmly invited to attend the launch of Genocide to Regeneration: The Photographs of George Trevine Treloar.

Co-authored by David Treloar and Dr Panayiotis Diamadis, the book offers a powerful insight in the remarkable life and humanitarian work of Old Collegian George Devine Treloar (SPC 1900), whose experiences were profoundly shaped by World War I.

The free launch will be held at the College's Performing Arts Centre on the eve of Remembrance Day, Monday, 10 November—a fitting occasion to honour Treloar's legacy of service and compassion—at 6pm. A light supper will be provided. All welcome, but we do ask that you register your attendance for catering purposes. 

Year 9 First Aid Training

Our Year 9 students have been armed with some valuable new skills! During their recent First Aid training with Vitality First Aid Solutions, the boys learned how to treat a range of injuries, including how to correctly apply a sling (as proudly modelled in this photo!) It was an engaging and practical session preparing them to stay calm and capable in an emergency.
