futures pathway<br />

Our major career information session<br />

this year was “Future Pathways” held in<br />

June. Many agencies attended including<br />

a range of University Faculty reps,<br />

Forces, Employment agencies, Training<br />

organisations and overseas exchange<br />

programs. Current students could discuss<br />

opportunities and source information to<br />

assist them in their planning for post year<br />

12. With many ex-students representing<br />

the diverse organisations, the event was<br />

well received by the current Newstead<br />

College cohort.<br />

On 19 July, it was time to break out the festivities and<br />

celebrate our annual Christmas in Winter with our<br />

International Students. A fun evening was enjoyed by all<br />

in Café Cypress. A delicious meal of roast turkey and plum<br />

pudding was prepared and served to us by the Certificate<br />

II in Hospitality students. To add to the festive cheer there<br />

were Christmas carols, bon bons with pathetic jokes and of<br />

course, a visit from a very jolly Santa who delivered presents<br />

to us all, regardless of if we had been good or bad. Santa<br />

brought with him some naughty bells which rang a lot!<br />

We also celebrated two birthdays: Max from Germany and<br />

Joe- Louis from France both turned 16. Danette’s famous<br />

chocolate cakes were a hit with the students. Sadly, we<br />

farewelled a number of our exchange students: Max, Joe-<br />

Louis, Arthur and Coline (French exchange students) and<br />

Katharina from Austria who has been with us for a year. We<br />

greatly value the contribution these students make to the<br />

College. On a brighter note we welcomed four German<br />

students who are with us until the end of term two: Lisa,<br />

Tatjana, Cara and Larissa.<br />

in July<br />

Thanks is extended to Kaye and Danette and their students<br />

for a beautiful meal and excellent service and a very<br />

special thankyou to Santa for making the long trip from the<br />

North Pole.<br />
