The Patrician Brothers' Blacktown community congratulates former student Farah Koko on his recent selection to represent the Sudanese National Football Team in an international friendly in Doha, Qatar. Farah represented Patties from Year 7 to Year 12 in the former MCS competition and was selected in the MCS representative team in 2019. Following outstanding performances with Manly and Sydney United, scoring 12 goals in 11 appearances over the past two seasons, his national team selection is thoroughly deserved. Remembered as someone who let his actions speak for him, always polite and willing to give his best at all times - he carries this same dedication onto the field every time he plays We are incredibly proud to see Farah representing his country on the international stage and wish him every success.

During Reconciliation Week, CSPD students joined Indigenous veterans, Elders, community leaders and Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC at the Indigenous Veterans Commemoration Service in Hyde Park. As part of this group, several Patties students proudly performed with the Jannawi Dance Clan, laid wreaths in honour of Indigenous veterans, and reflected on the importance of culture, connection and remembrance. A special highlight was hearing from Uncle Danny Eastwood, creator of the Indigenous Veterans’ Memorial, whose legacy continues to inspire future generations. We would like to express our gratitude to Nai Fakatava, Bailey Hall, Levii Gibson Baxter, Bailey Gibson Baxter, and Caleb Curry-Jones for their outstanding participation and performance. Additionally, we extend a special thank you to Ms Kathy Plumridge for her invaluable mentorship and dedicated leadership leading up to this performance.

Congratulations to former Patties student, Niwhai Puru, on being called up for his NRL debut for the Cronulla Sharks tonight! Niwhai was a key member of our star-studded 2019 NRL Schoolboy Cup team and he was also the proud recipient of our 2019 Jarara Award. This honour is presented to an Indigenous student whose resilience and capacity for growth enable them to consistently build on their strengths - qualities that Niwhai has truly embodied in all aspects of his life. We are incredibly proud to see Niwhai reach this milestone. It will be a special moment as he takes the field alongside his brother, Hohepa Puru. We wish you all the very best for tonight, Niwhai!
