Carevan - Wednesday, May 4th 

Wednesday, 4th of May, we started our community services with Carevan, cooking fried rice. The Hospitaltity room was filled with so much joy, laughter and positive energy with our staff and students from the Community Action Team and some year 9 students who volunteered their spare time at lunch and recess. It was great to see the ongoing support from our lovely staff and students shown in the images.

IT Session for Seniors – Launch 12th May 2022

Savannah Vecchio, Alexandra Yardley and Rianna Scarfone kindly volunteered their time to help support and run the IT Program for Seniors, which was held at the Griffith City Library. The day was a success with Seniors turning up and having their needs meet and having a social conversation with the students. 

Some seniors had brought new mobile devices, where the students were able to have one on one with the lovely seniors to show them how to make phone calls, add new contacts, send messages and photos, turn mobile device on and off, editing contacts, updating their phones, using the clock app (setting time and date) and using youtube and google. 

It was very productive hour, and these were just some of the mobile applications that the seniors wanted to learn about. Sharmaine from the Griffith City Library and her staff were very appreciative of the student’s time and efforts spent with our lovely seniors, whom the seniors, mention they would love to continue to come to the IT Sessions throughout the year.

The program runs every Thursday once a month until November 2022. This is an opportunity for students to not only provide their knowledge of using mobile devices but also to provide community service within our local community. Any interested Senior who would like to attend the IT Session do not need to register, and it’s a free service held the Griffith City Library.
