Open Day
With two weeks to go until Open Day, students are busy preparing for and completing projects for display. We hope you are able to visit and see your child in action.
Horse advertisement of Facebook
Last week, I shared a Facebook post seeking expressions of interest from anyone who may have horses suitable for our school equine program.
We are currently in a position to purchase two horses and are also keen to explore future leasing opportunities. At present, we are awaiting the Department's updated lease agreements before we can proceed with any leasing arrangements.
If you know of anyone who may have a suitable horse available for sale, we would be grateful if they could contact the College to discuss the opportunity further.
