Year 10 students always enjoy being able to hear real life stories and learn firsthand of the experiences of these brave veterans who gave so generously for all of us. The bus will not be undertaking these visits to schools in the future but the time they have given to support student learning across the state over many years has been invaluable. I thank them for their generosity and wish them well for the future. Mrs M Hutchinson Please take note of the following announcements, for any questions please contact us on 6556 8100.
