Welcome back to Term 2, I hope everyone enjoyed a restful and happy Easter period with their families.

Last term saw our first Parent Network social event with the College Comedy Night. This proved to be a huge success with approximately 150 people in attendance joining in hysterical laughs amongst the great company of comedians, Des Dowling and Peter Helliar. The audience was treated to Joey’s parent, Adam Cooney’s, debut on the comedy circuit – a Brownlow level performance! Thanks to the generous support of people in attendance we raised over $2,000 which will go towards supporting the students and College.

Our next Parent Network gathering is taking place on Tuesday 23 April at 7pm in the staffroom. We are lucky to have Deakin University attending with their research project into how school based digital technologies are experienced by students, teachers and families. Everyone is welcome to be part of the Deakin University focus group and our Parent Network gathering.

Also coming up in Term 2 is the next social function, the Trivia Night, taking place on Friday 24 May. Please keep an eye out on the College social media and emails for more details. This is a fun, casual night out to enjoy with your friends and trivia teammates, all money raised goes towards the College’s Wellbeing program.
