Speech in Action
St Gabriel’s is very pleased to announce the development of a new promotional video for the school. After being approached by Ron Tacchi, Director of Speakers Network International, to create a contemporary video that would advertise the valuable primary and secondary school programs and early intervention centre we provide, St Gabriel’s seized the opportunity!
With Ron’s support and dedication to the project, he secured personality Belinda Green, Miss World 1972 and celebrity panellist on television series ‘Beauty and the Beast’, to be our narrator and Independent Post Productions of Crows Nest to create the video. The time and expertise of everyone involved in this project was generously provided free of charge.
We couldn’t be happier with the end result, with the 6 minute video showcasing the school and children beautifully. This video will make a great addition to the informational pack we provide parents who are considering St Gabriel’s School for their child.

To enable St Gabriel’s to get reward dollars members of the school community collect reward dollars from The Good Guys Castle Hill each time they shop there.
