Indigenous Student Homestay Program 2013 In 2012, four boys from remote Indigenous communities began at

St Patrick’s. The program thus far has been a great success, not only for the students and their families, but the College community as a whole. There are opportunities for current St Patrick’s families

to welcome an Indigenous student into their home in 2013. The cost of the student living with a family is covered by Abstudy.

If you are interested in the prospect of welcoming an Indigenous student from a remote community into your home and into your

family, please contact Matt Hawkins on 0736319021 or mhawkins@stpatricks.qld.edu.au
