Rising ballet star checks out the PAC

We were thrilled to welcome back Old Collegian Joshua Ballinger (SPC 2016-18, PY2021) to St Pat’s last week.

Joshua, a member of the West Australian Ballet Corps de Ballet and 2023 recipient of our Old Collegians’ Association Young Achiever Award, toured the Performing Arts Centre with College Principal Steven O’Connor and even had the chance to see his young brother, current Year 7 student Xxavier!

We thank Joshua for taking the time to visit and inspire the next generation of Paddy boys. We wish him all the best in his ongoing journey!
