The Heights Learning Community

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations to the Heights Learning Community in Gillieston Heights on their recent official opening. On the day I was joined by Northern NSW President Pastor Cristian Copaceanu, Adventist Schools Australia Director Dr Jean Carter and Northern NSW Education Director Paul Fua to cut the ribbon. Nine very excited students are the first class for this newly opened school. I can only imagine them driving past this school in years to come, telling friends and family "I was part of the first class who ever went there." A big thank you to principal John Venegas, who hosted the evening. John's focus is to build a learning community and be part of the new chapter in education in Gillieston Heights, putting children at the centre of their own learning. It was a fantastic event for the local community, students and parents, all joining in the fun. Congratulations to the students and staff of the Heights Learning Community on this historic opening!
