Our volunteers for the day were exceptional; their enthusiasm to help wherever needed was most appreciated. Feedback from the participating schools was positive and made all the hard work behind the scenes worthwhile.

If you haven’t viewed the video of some of the day's action on the College’s Facebook page, its well worth the look!

Thank you for your support of the students and staff involved.
