Student & School Community Achievements

Farewell to our PYLO 

Senior Constable Anne Fefolya has worked with CGHS for about 10 years as one of our Police Youth Liaison Officers (PYLO). Anne has worked closely with our school community to provide valuable advice and guidance. Anne’s advice has always been delivered with aim of developing positive relationships, raising awareness about contemporary issues and keeping people safe. 

It is with much sadness that I announce Anne has been offered another posting within the NSW Police Force. On behalf of the CGHS community and the young people she has helped, I would like to thank Anne for her contribution to our school and take this opportunity to wish her all the best for the  future in her new role.
