SEEING DOUBLE

July 5, 2019

You would be forgiven for mistaking our two new staff members for each other – two adorable black Labrador reading dogs.

While they look the same and have the same job at each campus, the coincidence is even more exciting when you find out these black Labradors are both named Tucker and became reading dogs at St Stephen’s School this year within months of each other!

Read more about our reading dog program held at both Carramar and Duncraig in the Joondalup Times.

Out VET students continue to make a positive impact in industry with students selected to represent VET courses to prospective students at a recent information evening at Aranmore Catholic College.
