WELCOME TO NUDGEE

On Tuesday 12 March, the College held its annual Welcome to Nudgee Evening, exclusively for our newest parents. The evening was hosted by myself and Deputy Principal Stephen Meara and we were delighted to be joined by Ms Suzie Tjin, Dean of Learning and Teaching, as well as Mr Luke Ingham-Myers, Nudgee College Old Boy and incoming Chair of the Nudgee College Foundation.

Guests were once again treated to a unique and interactive experience where they moved through various locations including the Treacy Heritage Precinct, the Chapel, Old Boys’ Mall, Bodkin Room and College Museum. At each location they had performances and presentations from talented students who shared some fascinating stories and facts about Nudgee and its rich history, and the spectacular buildings we are so lucky to have around us. Highlights included a theatresports performance, the boys coming together for the war cry, and the Cultural Choir singing beautifully in the Chapel.

Our goal was to give new parents the opportunity to get to know each other and key staff members, as well as to understand the rich history of this place we call Nudgee. We enabled guests to see first-hand how vital the support of the Nudgee College Foundation and the Building Fund has been in the past, and how essential it is in securing the future of Nudgee College. The students also spoke passionately about the Jack Ross Bursary and reminded our newest parents of its importance in enabling the College to give the gift of a Nudgee College education to boys whose families have suffered hard times financially. This bursary fund relies entirely on the generosity of our parents and our community, and we are so grateful for this support.

Thank you to our newest parents who embraced the evening with such enthusiasm. The Nudgee College Foundation thanks you for your generosity.
