We’re excited to share that our Principal, Joanne Sheehy, is featured in a full-page article in today’s Gold Coast Bulletin. Jo reflected on the incredible growth of the Gold Coast over the past 22 years since returning from London—sharing her personal journey and the amazing changes she’s seen in our city and at A.B. Paterson College.

From new innovation precincts and arts hubs to the growing opportunities available to young graduates right here on the Coast, Jo’s story highlights just how far we’ve come.

This feature is part of the 2025 Future Gold Coast campaign, which brings together some of the biggest names in the region—including Griffith University, Village Roadshow, GemLife, and even Queensland Premier David Crisafulli—to talk about what the future of the Gold Coast could look like across areas like infrastructure, health, housing, tourism, education, and technology.

As a major sponsor of this year’s campaign, A.B. Paterson College is proud to be part of the conversation about shaping the future of our community.
