At another stand ex-student Bryony offered her pearls of wisdom on VCE and career paths. Many other organizations who could not send representatives, provided brochures, catalogues and some ‘freebies’.
Who Came?
110 people signed our registration lists (compared with 63 last year) but, from discussions with presenters, there were probably closer to 150 people there on the day. We met personnel from schools, many students and parents, Visiting Teachers, of course, and even a group from New South Wales. Vision Australia sent their Friday Support Skills Group over in a bus both in the morning and a different group in the afternoon. So we can literally say we had bus loads of people!
The Bolinda Door Prize was won by number 58 on our registration list: Eileen Houben, mother of a youngster on the CEO VT service. Mike from Bolinda picked out six audio books which he thought they might enjoy. Congratulations Eileen and happy listening to you both!
I’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to our ever busy SVRC staff who slaved away setting up, keeping things moving, directing traffic, making food appear and disappear and being so friendly throughout it all. They really are a magical team. Thank you also to Lea Nagel who, after overhearing a conversation about how we might get one, made us a terrific banner for the front fence, so that everyone could find us.
