Small Change Challenge

A huge thank you to students and the wider Aitken College Community who donated their small change for the ‘Small Change Challenge’ during Wellbeing Week. As a result, $272.00 will be split and donated to Beyond Blue and Kids Helpline. A collection jar will remain in the Library until the end of the year if you would like to add to this figure.  Thank you!

Class of 2013 - Five Year Reunion Friday 26 October

We had enough occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, osteopaths and allied health professionals to open our own clinic. Engineers of all types returned too. What a health conscious, problem-solving cohort this group have turned out to be!

Nearly 50 Alumni returned to the College last week for the five-year reunion of the Class of 2013. All were clearly excited to be back and wasted no time in catching up with friends and favourite teachers. Their post-Aitken pathways are interesting and diverse. Whilst some are still studying and pursuing Masters qualifications, many are working hard, progressing their careers and making contributions to their community.

Occupations included: Accountant, Bartender, Carpenter/Joiner, Chemical Engineer, Child Protection Worker, Chiropractor, Civil Engineer, Computer Clerk, Education Support Staff, Electronics Engineer, Exercise Physiologist, Games Designer, Information Systems Analyst, Insurance Advisor, Landscaper, Lawyer, Marketing Executive, Mechanical Engineer, Nurse, Occupational Therapist, Osteopath, Paramedic, Physiotherapist, Primary Teacher, Public Relations Consultant, Restaurant Manager, Secondary Teacher, Training Consultant, Urban Planner and Zoo Keeper.

With another 15+ apologies from those unable to attend for various reasons including: working/studying interstate, travelling, work commitments and exam pressures, numbers would have swelled further. 

Reluctant to leave, the group relocated and continued their reunion into the wee hours of the morning no doubt making plans for the next reunion five years hence in 2023. Sincere thanks to all who attended and contributed to the success of the event.
