This year, students at Preston Campus played in a series of football matches each Thursday.
The boys enjoyed the free-flowing game and the competition on the day, all played in great spirit.
Thursday is special at Preston, as this is the only day that the whole campus is together due to various VET studies on the other days of the week.
The staff have been fantastic in supporting our games by supplying two great umpires and helping us keep the game safe and enjoyable. Thanks to Mr Paul Watson, Mr Andre Boutulos, Mr Tim Watson, Mr Clint Gifford, and Ms Carly Tarrant for their help on games days.
For our final game, we played the National Anthem and got the whole campus to join in and participate.
I enjoyed my last year here at Parade College, and these footy games provided a fantastic opportunity for us to get to know one another and come together as a small community to enjoy the game that we all love. For me, it was important to get the campus more interactive and to encourage others to come to school and enjoy their day.
On Thursday 9 October, we celebrated with a liturgy at the Preston Campus for all our students. This was a time to acknowledge and farewell our Year 12 students who have been involved in the VCE VM program. It was a celebration and recognition of all the achievements at Preston over the year. A celebration like this is bittersweet. A joyful time to celebrate together, and sadness that their time at Parade is coming to an end. Afterwards, we shared a meal together. A big thank you to Mr Sam Yang, who facilitated the liturgy.
