Welcome Defence School Mentor (DSM)

Hello, my name is Kate Friend and I’m very excited to be your new Merici College Defence School Mentor (DSM) at Merici College. This is my first role as a DSM. I have spent many years developing food products as a Food Technologist living in three different countries, plus Australia. More recently I have been a Food Technology teacher, I really enjoy seeing young people learn and grow.

 

I’m currently solo parenting two young boys and experiencing first hand the MWDU (Married with Dependents Unaccompanied) situation, as my husband has just been posted to his ship. I’m sure this will just assist in supporting some students and their families going through a similar situation.

I’m looking forward to meeting and supporting students as they need it. I will be working school drop off hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday if you need to contact me.

Merici College staff and students would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms Narelle Patrick for her valued contribution and support offered to our Defence students and their families over the last ten years in her role as Defence School Mentor.
