    Senator Rex Patrick - from Scullery to Senator

    Helping students understand that "No one said they couldn't" is a mantra at REA. Senator Rex Patrick is an example of this manta. Senator Patrick attended school in Whyalla South Australia before he entered the Navy where his first role was in the scullery. Senator Patrick became a submariner before transitioning into private enterprise as a specialist in acoustics. More recently he entered the Australian Senate representing South Australia. What Senator Patrick learnt growing up in a steel town, in a Navy scullery and as a submariner has served him well in the halls of Parliament House. Nothing has held him back because no one said he couldn't.
