It has been positive seeing the academic focus around the college this week as assessments have ramped up. Equally positive and enjoyable was the Broomhead Feros Society Night earlier this week also. It is a fantastic reminder to residents and associates to involve yourself in as many opportunities around the College. 

To those heading to the KOCA Goondiwindi Races this weekend, please travel safe and look after yourselves so that you come back in one piece!

ANDREW EUNSON - DEPUTY CEO

J Laundry

Please note that we have actioned facilities to move through the J Laundry every fortnight on a Monday to collect and remove any item in the J Laundry that is not in a machine. This space needs to be kept more tidy please. This will commence this coming Monday at 10am and then occur each fortnight thereafter.
