Year 12s Gift
Each year the tradition for each graduating class is to present a gift to the school, a token of thank you for the years of service throughout the education of each student.
This year's class explored two options, one being a retro caravan converted into a coffee/food cart to be utilised on and off school grounds to train students in hospitality and to provide a service to the school and community. The second option was to construct a bicycle that could carry a fridge and offer an ice block service for the school.
After careful consideration the second option won out on the day. Based on access to the needed resources, time and cost, the bicycle conversion was selected as the gift to the school. Mrs Lynn was instrumental in ordering the bike and the fridge as the bases for a design to drafted. Caleb Hill, of the graduating class, was responsible for ordering the addition parts needed for the conversion, a thank you note to Kinselas Parkes for providing the needed components. Caleb was also responsible for fitting the new tyres tubes and wheels.
Mr Wynstra was responsible for the engineering of the front carriage and bicycle modification which was completed over a period of several weeks.
Laura Rusten organised the plaque that has all the graduating class names engraved and a thank you goes out to Nangar Gems Jewelry for providing this service.
The graduating class is to be commended for the fund raising activities held throughout the year which has help to provide the funds for this gift and huge thank you to the school community for supporting these events.
Year 12 brainstormed a possible name for the new cart and “PCS ICYCLE BICYCLE” has won on the day. The painting of the bicycle and all the stickers were completed here at the schools Industrial Technology facility.
It is the hope of the graduating class that this bicycle will be utilised for the existing ice block days raising money for Compassion, Sporting events - providing refreshments for competitors and spectators, cake stalls and other public relations activities on and off school grounds.
Well done Year 12, we know that this gift will be appreciated and well used.
