Zoe with a beautiful blanket made by her grandmother

Each Thursday lunchtime, students meet in the Library to knit squares. For many students this is their first time knitting! We currently have 32 members ranging from Years 7 to 12. Some of our keenest members are Bridie 7C,  Toni 7C, Crystelle 7E, Stephanie 7D and Emily 7C. We continue to get new members each week.

Mrs Maureen McCann is the driving force behind teaching the girls to knit and fixing up those dreaded dropped stitches. She has also been administrating and organising the knitted squares.

We are indebted to retired staff members, Lorraine St John and Maxine Evans who kindly donate their time to come to our weekly meetings, assist students and knit/sew for us in their spare time.

We are also very appreciative of the number of grandparents who have knitted squares for us. We would like to acknowledge Zoe's grandmothers Pam Poole and Jan Vacchini and Crystelle's grandmother, Jan Ellery, for their bags of beautifully knitted squares. A special mention is to be made of the continuing donations of squares from Mrs Judith Andrews, the grandmother of former student, Kimberley. It is lovely to see families of graduated students still involved in our College. Mrs Andrews has supported the Knitting Group for many years.These squares have enabled the Knitting Group to get some blankets assembled in time for the cold conditions.

We continue to welcome donations of wool and knitted squares! Every stitch counts!
