Today we farewell two of our wonderful canteen staff members, with Sonia Morrissey and Val Matthews leaving the College.
Sonia started at the Barak Campus canteen seven and a half years ago, helping out. “I could see the potential in it and see what needed to be done so I took over the canteens.” She said she was looking forward to retirement. “I need to sit back and rejuvenate.” Her husband Damien also worked in the Barak canteen and together they operated both canteens until Damien passed away three years ago, then Sonia took over the McAuley canteen.
Val began working at the College 14 years ago, when her son was in Grade 1, and said she was looking forward to travelling to the UK on Monday to see her mother.
We thank both Sonia and Val for their hospitality and service to students and staff over many years and wish them well.
NOTE: Both canteens are desperately looking for new staff. No food experience is required and the job includes school hours and school holidays. If you are interested in the position, or know someone who is, please contact Barak Campus canteen coordinator Stacey Anderson on 0421 301 012.
