Connecting College and Community

OCEANfest Celebrates!

Our Thank You Morning Tea last Friday highlighted the generous support OCEANfest has within our community. The Coral Café spoilt us with an array of delicious treats.

 Over the past month, we have seen the finalisation of the OCEANfest 2018 figures. We are very pleased to announce we have made a profit of over $50,000 a new benchmark for OCEANfest! This figure will allow us to directly support the College’s teaching and learning programs within the classroom with the acquisition of latest technology interactive boards (as pictured). The PLC Cambodian Team, who are departing in December, will also be supported in their goal to fundraise for the Lutheran Church of Cambodia’s Rainbow Hostel and Life Centre.

OCEANfest is a unique opportunity to connect with our ever growing and diverse community. Due to the success of previous OCEANfests, we have forged many strong partnerships that have enabled us to raise funds, support our community and our students’ academic, sporting, social and cultural experiences. Past major project contributions for FoP include:

• Netball/Tennis Courts and appropriate fencing
• Sports Hall multi-use flooring surface
• Sports Hall digital display screen
• Interactive Whiteboards
• Sports Hall fans

We particularly thank Teena Thompson, our OCEANfest Coordinator, and Bron Butler, our Logistics Coordinator, for their sustained efforts in ensuring the festival was a success. We also thank parents, year-level coordinators, staff and sponsors who supported the event including our festival partner; Newwave Orthodontics, along with major sponsors Sunstate Jewellers (major raffle prize), Fowler Lawyers, Computercut Signs, Dr Douglas Maclean - Hip, Knee and Shoulder Surgeon, Harmony Landscapes and Hunts Fitness.
