The combined campus Careers Expo was an outstanding success.
Such was the demand that exhibitors run out of handouts.

Worlds Greatest Shave hits Duncraig
March 20, 2017Lunch on the Quad was a bit different today.
Kaelan Lindup had his head shaved by fellow students.
Kaelan locks were so long that they had to be cut with a pair of scissors first.
Kaelan has raised $1,250 for the Leukaemia Foundation.
Donations are still being accepted.
This iconic event is one of Australia’s biggest fundraisers.
Year 8 students were first in line.
We are proud of you Kaelin!

South African Service Tour 2017
March 19, 2017
The South Africa Service Tour departs on the 28th of March – we ask for your prayers as our students and staff endeavour to complete some fantastic work in disadvantaged communities.
On Saturday our students raised $1454 at a Joondalup Bunnings sausage sizzle – we are really proud of their efforts.
This combines with the $750 that each student has raised as part of their tour commitment.
Our aim is to build a laundry facility at Jehova Jireh Haven out of a reconstructed shipping container.
Much of the structural work has already been completed in South Africa and our students will add the finishing touches such as painting the outside, plumbing the washing machines, paving the outside and setting up washing lines.
The Haven has previously hand washed the laundry for over 140 children. The container laundry facility will hopefully be a massive blessing to their lives.
The students are also building a giant jungle gym that will cater for the children at the haven – we will certainly post pictures of their efforts. If last year’s netball courts are anything to go by then we aim to surprise everyone with a giant jungle gym set up.

Bunnings Workshop
March 17, 2017
Everyone had a fantastic day today learning about the different types of tools and the safety when using these tools.
Student’s learnt quite a bit and these skills will certainly serve them well in their work at JJ Haven.
Our sincere thanks to Bunnings for their ongoing support of our South Africa Service Tour.
They continue to bless us with this free building workshop topped off with a lovely morning tea, a filling lunch and a great pair of working gloves and safety glasses.
There support is most valued!
