On Tuesday, 17 March, staff enjoyed an appreciation morning tea, where the Student Councillors took the opportunity to address and thank them.

Residential Staff

We would like to recognise and thank our incredible residential staff for everything they do to support us in boarding. Their dedication, patience, and care make our boarding community feel like a second home. Whether it’s helping us settle in after a long day, checking in with quick chats, or simply being there for support, they consistently go above and beyond. I would also like to say a special shout out to KV because she asked for one.

Kitchen Staff

I would like to extend thanks to our excellent kitchen staff. They spend much of their time preparing meals, which are tailored for us and our needs and on top of that they are always willing to have a chat. They work hard and diligently as well as being highly respectable. Thank you, what you do means a lot, even though you may not always be shown it.

Cleaning Staff

On behalf of the entire school, we want to extend our sincere thanks to our cleaning team for everything you do. While we spend our days working with the mess of trades and out on the farm, we know that we often bring the farm back inside with us especially the mud and the distinct scent of the pigs when we’ve been on them. We truly appreciate the hard work and patience it takes to keep our spaces clean despite the constant challenge. Thank you for your dedication and for making this school a clean place for all of us.

Farm Staff

On behalf of all the students here we’d like to the farm staff for your constant dedication to teaching us students' vital agricultural skills from how to take care of piglets, how to make sausages in butcher, how to shear a sheep and how to drive a tractor. You are always dedicated to helping us achieve the best. Thank you

Class Staff

We just wanted to say a big thank you to all our amazing class staff. You work so hard to teach us, support us, and coming to our basketball games while somehow still keeping us all on track every day. We really appreciate everything you do for us.

And honestly… teaching our year probably deserves an award — or at least a lot of coffee.

So, thank you for all the effort, patience, and time you put into helping us learn. We’re really lucky to have you.

Administration Staff

A big shout out to our awesome Admin team. You're the ones who keep everything ticking along, answer a million questions a day, and somehow stay patient and friendly through it all. Our school runs the way it does because of you. We see the effort you put in, and we appreciate you more than you know. Thanks for being the legends you are!

Trades Staff

On the behalf of all the students we thank the trade staff for everything they do for us. If its from

My Elliott trying to act serious

Mr Trevenen investing in his hair because it’s the crown he never takes off.

Mr Evans trying to stay in trend with us

Mr Boromini for supporting the pies

Mr Pfitzner for trying to argue Harvey Ag is better

Mr Prangnell for trying to remember names

But a big thanks to all of you trying to start conversations because of those shirts.

All the students are really appreciative of everything you guys do to keep us on track and get our work done before we hit the real world with all the sometimes-helpful tips and tricks.
