ADF Information and Fitness Session.
Some Magdalene students had the opportunity to listen to a representative from the Australian Defence Force last Wednesday.
The session explored the various roles available in the ADF, while also providing students with an insight into the physical requirements for recruits. The presenter, who is also a serving member of the ADF, offered many personal stories of his experiences within the ADF, which provided the students with an authentic insight into careers in the defence force.
I’d like to thank Mrs Lauren Agland for her assistance with running the fitness session of the presentation, alongside the ADF presenter.
TAFE Visit
Last Wednesday, approximately sixty year 10 students attended a Campus tour of Campelltown TAFE. The visit offered students an opportunity to explore the various teaching spaces TAFE has, as well as hear about some of the initiatives that TAFE has on offer.
