  • Newsletter 1 August 2012
    Eamon Hannan – Principal Newsletter 1 August 2012 The Olympic Opening ceremony highlighted the need that our secular world has to explore ritual, liturgy and humour. The taking of the oaths, the lighting of the cauldron, the simple photographic remembering of those who had passed away, speak of people trying to connect with ideals and something greater than our individual selves. Mr Bean and the acting of the Queen showed the value of not taking things too seriously in a delightful British way. The ceremony was moving and uplifting and in many respects spoke of the highest of human ideals. Australian Student Prizes for Vocational Education Congratulations to two senior students from last year who have been awarded Australian Student Prizes for Vocational Education. Kaijah Jenkins and James McCann have both received the award from the Federal Minister for Education Mr Peter Garrett. The award is limited to Dates to remember: 500 students Australia wide and includes a prize of $2000 each. Kaijah and James continue a proud tradition of Australian Student Prize winners at the college in recent years. August Congratulations to Mr Will Cassells who oversees the vocational education program in the 1 P & F Meeting, 6:00 pm college and was responsible for nominating these students.
