About 100 people gathered at St Patrick’s College on Tuesday afternoon as the school took the momentous step of officially apologising to victims of sexual abuse who suffered during their time at the college.

Sexual abuse survivor Phil Nagle joined headmaster John Crowley and student leaders in speaking at the event in what was an historic first for the school.

The gathering also served as the official opening of the school’s reflective garden and monument, with high profile survivors Peter Blenkiron and Andrew Collins accompanying college captain Mitchell Tuddenham to unveil the space.
