Congratulations to the Years 10 and 12 students who opted into a PT session with Dewan and Michael from ADF Careers last Friday morning. What a fantastic way to kick off the day! Every single student gave it a red hot go and our guests were so impressed they have asked for an invite again next year. Thank you Dewan and Michael for coming out to work with our students and give them some idea of what life in the ADF might be like - from the smiles on faces, you might already have some working on their applications now!

Our College was a sea of yellow today as students and staff came together for R U OK? Day. From bright accessories to smiles shared in the R U OK? photo frame, the spirit of the day was strong. 💛 Most importantly, we’re reminding each other that checking in matters, not just today, but every day. A simple question, “Are you OK?”, can make all the difference. #ruok
