One year after his last visit, the College again welcomed St Nicolas' little helper Piet. St Nicolas is Santa Claus' cousin and the children's friend in Western Europe. He celebrates his birthday on 5 December with loads of presents for the children. He has many helpers who all go by the name of 'Piet' and St Nicolas usually sends one of them to Australia each year.

This time it was 'Sustainability' Piet who was sent over to visit the school. He caused some excitement among the students since nobody knew exactly who he was! Sustainability Piet was there to encourage our teachers to attend a lunch time meeting organized by our P&F. Megan Cartwright and Sue Johansen were present to explain some ideas for our school for next year, involving gardening, recycling and sustainability. The teachers were treated to a no-waste, home grown, home made lunch which was received very well. It turns out we have many keen and interested teachers for this subject. We can now start working with these teachers and the SRC to start our own journey as an eco-school next year. 

Thank you to the teachers for attending the meeting and your enthusiasm!
