Welcome to another edition of Just News.
It's the last hot, dry week of biderap season here on Wurnudjeri country in Melbourne, and we've got an Annual Dinner round the corner, a great story of our Ignatius Learning Centre's novel approach with students, and a couple of important movements on our Board. Slip, slop, slap, and enjoy the edition.
