Governance

St Patrick’s Catholic School is part of Catholic Education Tasmania, a system of 38 schools and colleges committed to delivering high-quality, faith-based education across the state. Our governance structure ensures that decisions are made in the best interests of our students, families, and broader school community.

The St Patrick’s School Board plays an important advisory role, supporting the Principal in matters relating to the school’s strategic direction. This includes areas such as building and facilities planning, financial oversight, and the development of policies that uphold our school’s mission and values.

Our current School Board members are:

• Fr Sunil De Silva – Parish Priest
  
  
• Carmen Aylott – Principal
  
  
• Julie Fawkner – Chair
  
  
• Mel Atkins – Secretary
  
  
• Nataliia Stakh
  
  
• Claire Brooks
  
  

Board membership is made up of individuals from our school and parish community who are committed to the ongoing growth and success of St Patrick’s. Members typically serve a three-year term, with the Board meeting six times per year.

This collaborative model of governance ensures our school continues to thrive as a place of learning, faith, and community.
