Principal’s Message

On behalf of the Chairman of the Foundation, Mr Edward Klimowicz, I invite you to share your Time, Talent and Treasure with us and those within our valuable community.

It is with great pleasure that I present to you, our 2023 Inspire Business Directory. Our College Foundation is a trusted emissary that reminds us how fortunate we are to be part of a community where history, legacy, and clarity of purpose are the hallmarks of all that we do at A.B. Paterson College.

Our time, our talent and our treasure is what gives us our sense of belonging – it is this collective greater good that is at the heart of all we do. Thank you to all our families who have shared their businesses with our wider community to give us the opportunity to support our own. This is the sign of true community spirit.

As educators, we encourage and teach our students to support each other and to ensure we are contributing to something bigger than ourselves. How fortunate we are to provide to our wider College community with an opportunity to live by our teachings and to do just that – support others in the most genuine way.

As Principal, I am conscious that I am merely a custodian of our College, however I offer my heartfelt thanks for being part of our journey and walking along this path with us. I wish all of our families success and prosperity in 2023.

Ms Joanne Sheehy Principal A.B. Paterson College

A.B. Paterson College

A.B. Paterson College is proud to be a leader in educational excellence, as well as a provider of a supportive and nurturing community for students and their families. This cannot always be achieved through fees alone, so the A.B. Paterson College Foundation was established as an avenue to provide philanthropic support to the College community. Our students have been, and will continue to be, the beneficiaries of philanthropy from our parents, Old Collegians and supporting organisations.

We are exceptionally grateful to those who have, and continue to give generously, to provide opportunities and support, as well as building and facility upgrades that our students enjoy. The philosophy of the Foundation is Time, Talent and Treasure. The A.B. Paterson College Foundation gratefully appreciates all contributions and participation of any type.

We are proud to support the College Community in the following ways.

Stressed?

HIVITA WITH ASHWAGANDHA CAN IMPROVE STAMINA & IMMUNE HEALTH!

Research shows that taking a daily multivitamin is a good investment in your immune system and wellness. A deficiency or low levels of certain vitamins and minerals could be the reason for low energy levels and weak immunity. HIVITA is tried and tested for over 40 years to support immunity, energy levels, physical endurance and healthy stress response in the body.

TAILORED FOR YOUR NEEDS

Unlike most multivitamins which are one size fits all, HIVITA is tailored for your needs and lifestyle - to work most efficiently and effectively whilst saving you money. On your demanding, high stress days, you take 2 to 4 capsules. On less demanding days, one or two capsules.

EASY TO SWALLOW, BETTER THAN TABLETS

HIVITA plant based capsules (most capsules are animal source) are much easier to swallow than most traditional tablets. You can even separate the capsules and pour the powder in juice or water if that’s your preference. You also don’t have the chemical coating or unpleasant strong smell or taste usually associated with tablets. HIVITA does not contain many fillers, binders or titanium dioxide, a commonly used chemical in tablet products which is banned in Europe.

HIVITA HEART

HIVITA is also driven by love of people, planet and philanthropy. That’s why 50% of profits go to charitythe group foundation has gifted over $4 million to various charities over the past 5 years to support hospitals, the homeless, those affected by domestic violence and initiatives to combat global warming.

That’s over $2,000 per day or $60,000 per month - so we are serious about giving back to our community! We are clean and green in every way - 100% glass bottles, 100% vegan and 100% Australian. It’s all about enhancing wellness and delivering 100% happy energy!

POWERED BY ASHWAGANDHA

HIVITA is one of the only plant based multivitamins hi in ashwagandha and hi on life! You may feel the HIVITA difference in increased energy, better stress management and immune health after regular use. It’s happy energy all the way!

CATCHING VIRUSES TOO OFTEN?

Viruses are a part of life - and this is the season when we are most exposed. HIVITA Men’s or Women’s Multivitamin are the every day investment to promote general well-being and cope better with stress. HIVITA IMMUNE is the specialist, providing extra defense to reduce the severity and duration of viral infections. All HIVITA products are in easy to swallow capsules, vegan friendly and available at Chemist Warehouse Australia wide.

“

I felt the difference in increased energy and stronger immune health in the first few days!
