The 2021 P&C Exec team would like to thank our out going President Vicky Gilkes Cox for all the countless hours and hard work she put into the P&C Association for the past 3 year. Vicky is an absolute wealth of knowledge, with a smiley bubbly personality that made being part of the P&C community and exec team an absolute pleasure. Vicky has contributed and achieved so much serving as President and as sad as we are to see her go, we are also excited for what is ahead. We would like to wish Vicky all the best with her future endeavors.

In Week 4, the Rainforest Café started its program of industry placement/work experience for the college’s Certificate II Hospitality students in Year 11. Hospitality students are required to undertake 12 service periods as part of their course, so we were happy to support students in developing skills and getting those service periods completed. Our first student through was Jack Dickensen who showed great enthusiasm and determination to learn as much as possible and get stuck into the role. By the end of his two week placement, Jack was setting up the café, taking orders, pulling coffee shots and generally being a valued member of the team. In Week 6, one of our staff had to take some time off and we asked Jack if he would step in and volunteer as he was all trained up. Jack jumped at the opportunity, showing a great community spirit and a love for the job. Well done Jack, we are so appreciative of your support, good nature and enthusiasm. We look forward to our next student coming on board once our Café Supervisor is back.
February 2020 Thank you to all who came to our AGM and the first meeting of the year. A big thank you to Jarrod Bleijie for his generous $200 donation towards 2020 fundraising. Thank you also to our outgoing Exec members Rachel and Chris and welcome to Sharn, our new Vice-President and Jacs, previously our Vice-President and now our Secretary. Renice remains as Treasurer and me, Vicky, as President.
