Catholic Schools Office director Gerard Mowbray steps down after 46 years with diocese

Gerard Mowbray, at St Paul's [left] and today, oversees 58 schools. "The importance of the relationships we build; keeping our eye on students and their needs; and making sure our schools offer the very best facilities; they're the three things [I hope are my legacy]." Picture by Simone De Peak

GERARD Mowbray doesn't use the word retirement when he talks about changing gears after nearly 50 years in Catholic education.

"The notion of retirement is about putting your feet up, it's moving into a passive phase of your life and I think I'm moving into what I think will be a busy, exciting phase of life," Mr Mowbray said.
