have now been overcome, and the school’s community, its staff, administrators, students and parents will be stronger because of it. The fact that the school’s campus could be open this year is a testament to the tireless, methodical work of all those involved in the project.
I was honoured to have attended the official opening and blessing of the school a couple of weeks ago, and I would like to thank and acknowledge all those involved in the ceremony. They are the Most Reverend Christopher Prowse, the Catholic Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn; Moira Nadjecki, the Director of the Catholic Education Office; Catherine Rey, the principal of John Paul College; Keith Cantile, the college council chair; Domenic Braybon, senior officer, system leadership, at the Catholic Education Office; and students, Jordan Brusensky, Evie Felton, Charlotte Foster, Jason El-Khoury, Joshua Beale, Sarina Dao, Zoe Nesbitt and Luca Papa for their statements and prayers during the ceremony.
I wish to also provide my best wishes to all those involved at the school, including the principal, Catherine Rye; the assistant principal, Stephanie O’Meara; the college bursar and business manager, Keith Vardanega; the college coordinators, Colleen Marriott, Kim Schade and Liam Stakelum; the college support staff, Kris Davis, Sally Dawe, Liam Gallagher, Belinda Kelly and Tim Rees; and the college teaching staff, Greg Baines, Sarah Box, Bronwyn Griffin, Elizabeth Hair, Faye Harding, Atina Hrstic, Andrew Luck, Mike McRae, Anthony Pitt, Paul Sainty, Guillaume Schlomka, and John Thompson.
I commend John Paul College to members and encourage members to support the school as it grows to a years 7 to 12 college. For more information on the school, I encourage members to visit the school’s website at www.jpc.act.edu.au.
