The Heritage College Principals had a Conference at Avoca Beach on June 1-3. The Conference is an annual event that takes place around June each year, and provides an opportunity for The Principals of Heritage Colleges around Australia to visit the other schools and discuss issues relevant to all of our schools and students. The Principals in attendance were Stuart Gilmore from Sydney HC, Steve Higgs from Perth HC, Andrew Johns from Adelaide HC and Simon Dodson from Cooranbong HC. Their wives, Val, Nola, Kathy and Priscilla, also attended. Everyone felt the occasion was most profitable.

The next Conference is planned for Perth in June 2008, God willing.

A great day. look at photos here.
