Breakfast Club - students are invited to have breakfast at Borinya, this is available every day of the week from 8.30 - 8.55am. 

Borinya is extremely grateful for La Bella Roca' generosity; they donate fresh fruit for students during recess & lunch breaks. 

Connecting Cuppa - Community afternoon tea every Tuesday afternoon 2pm - 3pm - TTC

We have developed a new community connection through Open Neighbourhood. In partnership we are running a carer’s café weekly. The purpose of this is to connect carers and provide them with information regarding support and assistance available. It also gives our VPC students valuable experience in providing refreshments and participating in conversations.

Other community connections include working with Wangaratta Landcare and Sustainability on projects around our billabong; for example aquatic rafts and electrofishing to cull carp.

NESAY and Borinya work together to provide wellbeing support for our students. This term we welcomed Kirsty Hawkins as our new school engagement worker. Kirsty is tasked with getting those reluctant to attend, up and ready to go. Our lovely Sophie still provides much needed welfare support to a number of students. NESAY are very generous to us in supporting the many programs that we are able to provide our young people.
