Community Hub Dedication

Brent Grimes - Communications Manager

Surrounded by student artwork, and welcomed by Primary musical performers - it was a warm atmosphere as we gathered in our brand new performance space to dedicate and officially open the Community Hub.

In front of her commissioned painting, which will hang in the Hub foyer, artist and proud Wuthathi and Mabuiag Island (Torres Strait) woman, Safina Stewart, led those gathered in an Acknowledgement of Country to open our time together. Later she shared with us the meaning of her artwork, which describes the redemptive power of God over the 'dry places' in our lives, and encouraged all present to lean into that relationship with God.

Tim Argall was unable to join us due to COVID, instead greeting us over video. Thanking God for this building, Tim recognised that we have been blessed along every step of its development with vision, skilled craftsmen, resources, and the determination to work through the adversity of a global pandemic. 

 

Board Chair, Tony Sinn; Former Principal, Yvonne Bradley; and Former Board Member Lois Craig each shared their unique perspectives on the College, and what this new building might mean for us, before they unveiled the plaque and officially opened the Community Hub.

Now here's a video of key moments in the dedication ceremony:
