At the end of 2014, Patrick Langan from Our Lady Queen of Peace, Greystanes graduated Year 6 a happy, confident and engaged learner a feat his mother Margaret attributes to the dedication of his teachers over the years.
Margaret said that Patrick experienced learning difficulties in his younger years, but the hard work and persistence of teachers Rebecca Lloyd, Kym Romanous, Candice Cozzarini, Cheryl Gunter, and Lloyd Knight enabled him to overcome these challenges.
'I would like to thank all the teachers from Our Lady Queen of Peace for their work in supporting and dedication to Patrick's education over the years,’ said Margaret. ‘I know that education starts at the home however without the help from all of the teachers, Patrick would not have achieved the success that he has through out his years in primary school.’
Principal Michael Hopley said it is wonderful to receive positive feedback from parents.
‘Patrick’s journey of learning was a difficult one as he had some specific learning needs,’ said Michael. ‘He will now be attending St. Paul’s College and he leaves us a confident learner with a bright future ahead.’

Pentecost Sunday will be celebrated this Sunday (May 24, 2026). This major Catholic holiday is celebrated exactly 50 days after Easter Sunday. It is the day the Church celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the first disciples gathered in Jerusalem. It is the moment when the fearful followers of Jesus were strengthened to proclaim the gospel boldly to the world.
