Defence School Mentor News
The highlight for our families over the past two weeks was definitely the visit by the C-135 Helicopter from the ADF Joint Helicopter School at HMAS Albatross in Nowra, on Friday 16th August. A wonderful opportunity for our Defence students but also for all the school to see, learn and ask questions. Many thanks to LTCOL Patrick Schadel and his air crew for such a great morning.
Kids Club has been fun with extra ‘teddy’ members during Book Week, crafting, eating choc chip biscuits and this week some special Father’s day craft.
Next week we have an opportunity to take some of our year 6 Defence students to the Australian War Memorial for a Commemorative Ceremony.
