From the Principal Mrs Nicola Taylor
It is hard to believe that we have come to the penultimate edition of the Lion’s Roar! The academic year is drawing to a close and yet students and teachers are gearing up for the traditional PLC Armidale finish, with a slight twist this year! In many of the new student interviews I have conducted throughout the year, a number of prospective parents at the College ask about social service activities. The importance of giving back to community and seeking to serve others is valued by these families who are encouraged to hear of the opportunities provided in both the Junior School and Senior School. Coaching sporting teams, overseas service learning trips, raising awareness and funds for charities and worthy causes, musical performances in aged care residences, SRC projects and a range of volunteering endeavours undertaken by our Duke of Edinburgh Award participants have taken place throughout the year, across the College led in the main by the girls. Dr Tim Elmore, founder and president of Growing Leaders makes the following observation of how …”Students support what they help create… they act, they connect, they practice “ This will be evident when our newly inducted Guild Leaders, along with Year 11 work with their Guild to present an original, creative work for Guild Drama - a fitting end to the year, team work and serving providing an afternoon of enjoyment to our community. continued on Page 2...
