Harry Southern-Gale (Class of 2019) joined the navy in 2021 and completed his training as a Combat System's Operator in December. He was deployed to the HMAS Adelaide at the completion of his training. 

His first day on a Navy ship was also the start of his first deployment. Operation Tonga Assist 2022 is part of the Australian Government's support to the Tongan Government following the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano.

His family sent an update to the College saying, "We have been so proud of Harry and what he has achieved. This is in no small part due to the teachers, experiences, friendships and values he gained at PAC. "

HMAS Adelaide has just arrived back after nearly three months away. Read more in the ADF news.
