Student Core Team for Our Wellbeing Dog - Max

We have a small group of students who have volunteered to assist with Max's daily tasks; such as taking Max to his commitments around the school and walking him at recess and lunch. This will be on a rostered timetable, every Thursday and Friday during term time. We would like to thank these students (listed below) for committing to be part of this special team.
