On Friday November 7 the Gymnasium was officially opened by The Hon Ian West representing The Minister for Education, Verity Firth. Prior to the ceremony we were entertained by the school band with a very professional sounding repertoire. The ceremony itself was capably led by our School captains Tim and Sheree in their first official duties.  Following the ceremony the Principal Sue Cran cut the ribbon and the Official party moved into the gym to see it ‘in use’ by the impressive basbetball, netball and trampolining TSP groups.

This gymnasium is the product of dreams, tenacity and co-operation. The dream started during the principalship of Mr Graz Perre and it was nurtured through the dedication and support of Mr Bruce Baird, Mr Alan Jones, Mr Lee Evans and staff at the school such as Mr Paul O’Neill. For the people involved it was a challenging process to bring the dream of a facility like this to fruition and we owe them gratitude for their persistence.

Openings such as this do not just happen and I would like to thank the many staff members who contributed. A special thank-you goes to Dave Davids for his co-ordination of the event.
