College thanks volunteers

Brisbane Water Secondary College has recognised the contribution of the many volunteers who have worked at both campuses throughout the year by inviting them to lunch.

Forty volunteers attended the lunch held at the Woy Woy Campus on Tuesday, December 5.

A similar number is expected to attend a lunch at the Umina Campus on Thursday, December 14.

"These great supporters of the college have worked in one of the college's two canteens, been part of formal student mentor programs, assisted students with their learning as part of a long standing programs such as 'One on One', have driven the college bus, helped out at the farm or have contributed in many other capacities," school principal Ms Pamela McAlister said.

"Many are involved in more than one area.

"Some have worked as volunteers in the college or previous high schools for over 15 years.

"The college is part of its community and as such, needs to build a strong relationship with its community.

"Our core values are respect, commitment and relationships.

"Our volunteers reflect these values and we greatly appreciated the contribution they make."
