In a wonderful evening at the Adelaide Convention Centre in early December, St Patrick’s Technical College farewelled the graduating class of 2013 and congratulated those students recognised as the most outstanding in their courses.
The St Patrick’s Technical College Graduation Dinner has become the most anticipated event on the College’s calendar over the past few years. With over 400 guests and almost 20 awards sponsors, the night is as spectacular as it is a celebration of the achievements of our students.
A feature of the 2013 event was the Ai Group Training Services Address given by Mr Raymond Garrand, Chief Executive of the Department for Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology. A strong supporter of our College, Mr Garrand spoke of the importance of vocational training for the future prosperity of South Australia.
