Year 11 students Alanah Hardy, Sam Roussos and Alex Kurien shared the MC role, while SIEU students created a welcoming environment for the Seniors, escorting them during the event.

The event was attended by over 120 members of the community who also enjoyed a morning tea prepared and served by the Integrated Learning Catering Class. The students chose recipes in line with Nutrition Australia guidelines for maximum nutrition in small portions and followed a defined catering budget. 

The morning also showcased an exhibition by Year 10-12 Art Practical, Photography and Design students. Guests were impressed with a wide variety of works including painting, reduction lino cuts, watercolours and acrylic, macro photography, fashion and product design.
