AROUND THE COLLEGE
TERM 3
To celebrate how important trees are to our community, WHC invited our Deputy Prime Minister, Hon. Richard Marles, to plant an indigenous flowering gum on WHC grounds.
After an Acknowledgement of Country conducted by Caitlin and Macie, an informal Q and A with Mr. Marles was held in the library before planting the gum tree. Our school captain, Amber, accepted three new flags for our flagpoles from Mr. Marles.
Thank you to WHC senior students for asking great questions and participating respectfully. You represented our College admirably. Thank you to Ms. Taylor, Mrs. Huckers for organising the tree plot, Hannah VDV for being the photographer and Lee-anne for the morning tea, and Mr. Dale for preparing the grounds for the VIP visit!
