The night raise in excess of $2,500 and the college were very grateful to be able to put the funds to good use in dealing with a particularly challenging situation they were faced with.

Visy Health and Safety Awards As an integral part of the company’s national safety week in early October, the General Manager of Visy, Ian Harmer , announced the names of three winners of the “Katrina Wakeling Health and Safety Awards” created in honour of Katrina’s contribution to workplace Health and Safety practices and policies when she was an employee of the company. In presenting the awards Harmer said “..she was a leader within the HSE space and driven to making a difference at Visy. Her beliefs and strategies around HSE culture, teams, leadership and the importance of people set her apart and were the foundations of her success as a HSE professional..” It is another tremendous honour to Katrina’s ongoing legacy and one which makes us all very proud.
