The Ahern/John family made a generous gift to the Austin hospital kids ward yesterday. Brock, Emily, Bailey and Lincoln sold the most tickets and won a couple of the wonderful Easter Hampers. They then gave their prizes to the children at the Austin Hospital which is what they have done for the past couple of years. A wonderful picture of how we can 'make the day' of others in our community.

On Wednesday 2 March, 18 school leaders made their way to the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre. There were four main speakers that inspired students to achieve great things. The presenters that stood out were Nathan 'Dubsy' Want (an inspiring speaker), Dylan Parker (the inspiration for the movie, Paper Planes), Harry Baker (the World Poetry Slam Champion) and Kate Austin (the founder of Pinchapoo)! The whole day was an absolute blast!
