From Senior VCAL
The Senior VCAL students want to thank Bakers Delight Dingley for their kind donation of bread and the opportunity they gave to the Breakfast Club. Without their kindness, we wouldn’t be able to run the Breakfast club the way we intended to. 622 students received toast with a topping of their choice. The whole Killester College community wants to thank Bakers Delight Dingley.
BREAKFAST CLUB
The City of Greater Dandenong hosted an event on the 23rd of August with Emerson School and Killester College, Year 11 VCAL.
"We introduced ourselves to the students from Emerson School for the first time and played activities with them so that we would be able to work together on the day of the event at Killester College on the 15th of September. I realised that I went to primary school with one of the students. The Emerson students were uncomfortable at the start but with every activity, they started to open up."
Vicki G, Year 11 VCAL
"Working with Emerson School was a wonderful opportunity. The students were really kind and we found out that there were some things that we had in common with them through the bingo game."
Eden G, Year 11 VCAL
"I enjoyed working with Emerson School because we were able to come up with ideas for the event together."
