An Exciting Start to The Year at St Teresa’s College

Abergowrie’s St Teresa’s College has enjoyed a strong and spirited start to the year, with significant visits and commencement celebrations creating a buzz across the school community.
On 3 February, the college welcomed Hinchinbrook Shire Council Mayor Ramon Jayo and Member for Hinchinbrook Wayde Chiesa MP, who both attended the commissioning service.
“This [the commissioning service] reflects the college’s strong agricultural heritage and emphasis on the values of hard work, responsibility and positive outcomes,” Mr Chiesa said.
“We celebrated a significant milestone – the return of ownership, governance and leadership to Edmund Rice Education in Australia.”
One of the day’s many highlights was Bishop Tim’s recognition of local old boy Mr Tom Duffy, the college’s oldest surviving graduate, who completed his studies in 1949.
Students also proudly showcased their culture through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dance performances. First established by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in 1933, St Teresa’s College continues to honour its rich heritage and enduring history.
Overall, the occasion marked a positive and celebratory beginning to what promises to be a wonderful year in 2026.
