A representative from Gran's Van, came in this week to collect the cans collected over our Gran’s Van awareness week.   He has said that our donation is the biggest single donation he has seen since being involved with Gran’s Van and that we should be very proud.  Ms Sussman, the SRC Coordinator, indicated that he was quite impressed.  On behalf of Gran's van, he has passed on his thanks from both him and the community.

Last weekend's Senior Secondary Ball proved to be a very successful evening, with the young adults stepping out in style.  Covid restrictions for spectators were overcome by live-streaming arrivals.  The College thanks the staff from the Paranaple Centre, with students, especially, complimenting the meal.

Last year more than 2,000 students participated in completing TASC surveys sharing the challenges they were experiencing in their studies during the COVID-19 pandemic and what best supports them.  This information helped TASC develop supports and adjustments.

The 2021 TASC survey is anonymous and focuses on hearing student views about their senior secondary study experiences, assessments and certificates. This includes:

• Students’ aims and focuses for their senior secondary years
• What they are finding most challenging
• What information, resources and support are useful/needed.

The survey responses with be used by TASC to:

• Prioritise topic areas for communication and improve our information for students
• Develop resources and supports, and work with schools to improve processes related to the Standards for Providers.

The survey will be open until Friday 11 June and Mr Stocks, our TASC Liasion Officer will provide the link to Year 11 and 12 students.
