Equine Vet. I actually got into uni to study Equine Science to become an Equine Vet, However I also got into uni for teaching. I ultimately chose to teach.

Sushi. There are so many different types you can have!

Write a Book in a Day
Well done to our students who represented us at the Write a Book in a Day event at Toormina High School - another example of HPGE in action. This program gets better every year and our students were very proud of the books they authored, illustrated, published and printed all in one day! Thank you to Mr Doyle who coordinated our participation and managed the supervision timetable, all whilst organising a massive trivia quiz for the end of the day. Thank you to Toormina High School and Mrs Gillingham for providing our students with this learning opportunity.
