Mrs Stanley presented the College with the Australian flag from the August 22 sitting of the House of Representatives this year. August 22nd was the day of the Opening of our new Rawdon Middleton VC Sports Complex. We will add the flag and plaque to the exhibition in the foyer of the Physical Education Centre.
Also in attendance was Mr Andrew Wilkinson whose performances at the recent Invictus Games were exemplary. Andrew won 4 gold and 3 silver medals, competing in both Swimming & Cycling. Andrew and his wife Brianne have 3 children at the College and we were privileged to have him recount his experiences, both in military service as a sailor in the Royal Australian Navy, and now as an elite athlete, having been medically discharged from the Navy following an injury incurred in his military service.
With Mrs Stanley and Mr Wilkinson in attendance we were able to conduct the special assembly to commemorate Remembrance Day which will officially be held on Sunday 11 November at 11am.
Our Junior School students will also be part of a special Remembrance Day service today. We are privileged in this country to have men and women who have served the nation in times of war and border conflicts.
With the future in mind, every family will receive a copy of our Strategic directions document entitled ‘It’s about their future.’ Please take time to peruse the document when it arrives in the post early next week.
In the following week, you will be invited to take part in a survey about the College for an external review of our programs and practices by the Anglican Schools Corporation. We will be pleased to receive your responses and comments.
Year 12 students will all complete their HSC programs by Friday this week. The last official day of the 2018 Higher School Certificate. Later in the month they will enjoy a formal evening together in the city. We wish them well for their next steps don’t we?
