Blessing and Opening Building the Education
Revolution projects
On Wednesday May 16, Monsignor Paul Boyers, representing Bishop
Christopher Saunders blessed our new and refurbished facilities funded by the
Federal Government‘s Building the Education Revolution (BER)
programme. Senator Louise Pratt representing the Federal Government,
officially opened the new and refurbished buildings. Deputy Director of
Catholic Education, Ms Mary Retel travelled up from Perth to be with us on
this special day.
In Ms Retel‟s speech she commented how the new and refurbished facilities
were a great addition to the College and encouraged each student to be proud of their school and to work hard to follow
their dreams to achieve their potential.
Undertaking such projects across an expansive campus requires much thought and vision. The design and building
phases of the projects were carried out by ENGAWA Architects and H&M Tracey Builders under the principalship of Mr
Tony Treacy. Principal, Mr Michael Pepper acknowledged Mr Treacy and thanked him for his leadership and vision of the
needs of our current and future students. College Board and Board Chairman, Michael Leake was also acknowledged for
his guidance and support by the Principal.
