SENIOR LEARNING CENTRE
Our school leaders (Peter Cliffe, Vicky Fraanje, Ivan Seskis, Liz Miko) recently had an onsite tour of our new SLC along with our Project Manager, Tom Denney. It is pleasing to observe the progress of our new building. The second story steel work will be erected in the coming days which will make our new building a lot more noticeable as you enter our site.
