A bit of a biog of Jim Hanley
After leaving the order at the end of 1971 I went Maryborough (Qld) and worked in a Christian Brothers’ school for a couple of years. I then moved to another Christian Brothers’ school in Toowoomba and taught there for a year. It was during that year that I met Pat, my future wife. I then taught at Downlands College for a number of years. Pat and I were married in the College chapel in August 1975. The following year our first daughter, Bernadette was born. When she was 18 months old we headed off to PNG to work on a mission school for a year before returning to Downlands. Our second daughter, Christine, was born in 1980. After a few more years we headed west to Longreach where for a couple of years I was principal of the Yrs 1-10 Catholic school. We then moved to Rockhampton. I taught for many years at one of the Catholic secondary schools where I became APRE. In 2000 I took up the position of APRE at St Ursula’s College (Girls day and boarding college) at Yeppoon, about half an hour’s drive from home in Rockhampton. I was there until 12th May this year when I was offered and accepted a position as RE Project Officer at DCEO in Rockhampton. Along the way I’ve collected a few degrees, but now that I have a doctorate I have taken up a more sensible past-time and am a very keen moderately successful lawn bowler.
Pat and I are very proud doting grandparents of Bernadette’s son, Lachlan James William Winter, who was born in November 2002.
The attached photo is of Lachlan and myself taken on his third birthday in November last year.
Hope all goes well.
Keep me up to date with all the news.
