I recognise the three‑decade contribution of Brother Nicholas Patrick Harsas to the Catholic education sector. At the end of last year, Brother Nicholas finished his tenure as the principal of Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School at Carnes Hill in my electorate. His three decades of service to Catholic education has seen him teach at schools across Sydney and impart his knowledge and wisdom on thousands of students, including the current member for Fairfield. His service to education and the Catholic faith was recognised with a Dempsey Medal in 2018 and an Order of Australia medal in 2020. December 2023 was a big month for Brother Nicholas; not only did he finish up at Holy Spirit to take up a senior role in the Patrician Brothers, but he was also awarded the Croce Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, or the Cross for the Church, by Archbishop Anthony Fisher on behalf of Pope Francis. On behalf of the community of Leppington, I thank Brother Nicholas for his service and wish him all the best in his new role.
