The Lasallian Foundation was deeply saddened by the passing of Greg Whitby AM KSG, he served as a Director on the Board of the Lasallian Foundation since March 2024.
Greg brought to the Foundation a wealth of experience from a distinguished career in Catholic education. He was Executive Director of Catholic Education in the Diocese of Parramatta from 2006 to 2022, leading a system of 78 schools serving more than 43,000 students and employing over 4,500 staff. Prior to this, he was Director of Schools for the Diocese of Wollongong (1999–2006), and earlier held leadership and administrative positions in secondary schools and diocesan education offices.
From the Lasallian Foundation Board, we give thanks for Greg’s life and his generous contribution to the mission of the Lasallian Foundation. We extend our prayerful sympathies to his wife Sue, their children Matthew, Alexandra and Sophie, his grandchildren, and extended family at this very sad time.
Eternal rest grant unto Greg, O Lord. May perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
