We recently said goodbye to Valmai the golden Labrador. She is currently being assessed with Guide Dogs Australia to determine the sort of work she will be doing in the future. Thank you to Mr Peter Weatherlake, staff and students from Valdocco Campus for the wonderful work you did with Valmai over the past 12 months.
Mr Tom Lobbe (pictured below) won the Young Achiever Awards 2018 Inspirational TAFE Student Award and we congratulate him. Tom is a member of our Maintenance and Grounds Team.
Our deepest sympathies are extended to the following students and their families:
Tim Peddell (10 Ledda) – Tim’s father, Scott Peddell, died recently.
Marlon Marinos (10 Edwards) – Marlon’s mother, Monika Hendryck, died in early May.
All the best for the fortnight ahead.
Ms Cathy Livingston
