This enables us to initially fine- tune the values that motivate us and Earlier this year we took occupation of then later experience the outcome of the new JC Bruce VCE Centre.

Connor Rowley – National Cycling Champion

Connor Rowley was thrilled to compete for Australia in the U19 Team Sprint event at the Oceania Track Cycling Championships in Adelaide. He won medals for all three of his events: gold for the Team Sprint, bronze in the Keirin and silver in the Sprint. Outstanding 02 results, Connor! challenges in completing this project would always be met. Mary Baker Eddy states in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p510), ‘Love alone can impart the limitless ideas of infinite Mind’.

The Board is delighted to be able to provide our students with such a high- calibre VCE centre. It is also hoped that the J.C. Bruce VCE Centre provides staff with an inspirational and functional environment where they can inspire students to achieve of their very best.

Besides major financial savings of up to 50% on conventional contract building costs, the school has also been able to incorporate changes as the work proceeded and fine tune to meet the needs of staff without incurring the usual high cost of contract variations. We have been able to utilise the specific skills of staff members. I would like to express particular appreciation for the skill shown by Phil Amos in his colour co-ordination and design.

Rob Kitchingman, our Business Manager, has not only become completely knowledgeable about the school’s structure and ongoing maintenance needs, but has also expanded his horizons and now has direct contact with all tradesmen. He arranged many of the specialised and technically detailed services in this building. He also organised Huntingtower honours and oversaw the recent extensive redevelopment in the Boarding House.
