On Wednesday 28th March at 3 pm the General Studies Division of West Coast (of which AMES is a part) is giving a presentation to the rest of the College. A video, powerpoint quiz, photos from Balga, the city etc as well as 3 minute talks from PMs will form most of the presentation. The timing is very difficult for many but AMES staff are encouraged to attend if possible (venue is the canteen in Joondalup). I have arranged for our Burmese guitarists to close the session with a song.

Congratulations to Lar Say Wah MEI for winning the AMES Mature Student Encouragement award and many thanks to Christine for nominating her. The West Coast Awards night is on April 4th. For a list of all winners see Philip's email or city blog.

PD in April (including FLAN). Forms are being distributed in pigeon holes.

Clocks in WA change on Sat 24 March at midnight- please remind students on Friday.

Barbara is back from India and will be available for relief until the end of term.

Anna contacted us today and asked me to pass on her thanks for the lovely card. All the messages of support have really raised her spirits. She sees the oncologist next Tuesday

The Swan gardener has a washing machine in good working order he wishes to donate to a student (he will deliver). It’s difficult to choose one deserving recipient but if you make some enquiries and find a desperate case, let me know.

From Alison “I have put information about the Mirrabooka library into the Excursion Folder (signing out). I've put in an APPLICATION FORM FOR JOINING. It is best that they complete it in class before taking them to the library. Also a list of REQUIREMENTS/DOCUMENTS they will need to bring to the library on joining, as proof of their identity. Please do not take master sheets- make a photocopy. (I couldn't find the actual Excursions folder, though it is around somewhere!) "
