We were saddened to learn from his son Paul that former boarder Don Phillips (SPC 1945-48, PY1949) passed away on 1 August 2025, aged 93 years. Paul said his dad had “a fantastic long life” and looked forward to reading The Shamrock magazine over the years.
Don was a boarder and long-time resident from Shepparton, in northern Victoria. He began his studies at SPC in Sub-intermediate B class in 1945 and completed his Leaving studies in 1948.
He enjoyed playing both cricket and football at SPC, and was named the fourth Dux of Class in Sub-Intermediate.
