Linking with the wider community has immeasurable benefits for the school’s students and they gain the necessary skills to seek employment during summer break and post-school years.
The morning tea was hosted in the school’s café with students serving tea, espresso coffee and homemade delights that they had prepared that morning.
Guests were presented with certificates of appreciation and thanked by principal Ken Bates and careers advisor Maree McNeil.
