VET Hospitality dinner success

This week our new VET Hospitality Class took the opportunity to extend student gratitude to the most significant volunteer group in the College - our wonderful P&F Committee.

Latest news from the P&F

We have had a very busy couple of months since our February meeting with some of our most popular events being very well supported. Thank you to all parents who took the time to come along to the Parent Uniform Forum that was held instead of the March P&F Meeting. Parents who attended received information regarding the uniform review, engaged in small group discussions and also talked to our designer at Perm A Pleat.

These were led by our Year 5 and 6 students in beautiful weather.

This is a day of national ritual and commemoration of sacrifice undertaken for our nation. It is a day during which large number of students, looking wonderful in their formal uniforms, participate in ANZAC Day marches and ceremonies.
