Guide Dog Visit

27 Nov 25

We had a special visitor to our Year 11 vocational class today. Chris Lovelock and Brock joined the class to speak to our students about Guide Dogs UK. Chris is a puppy raiser and ambassador for the charity. She spoke to the students about how new puppies are trained, how to interact with working dogs and how Guide Dogs can help improve the lives of people with visual impairments. Students learned more about the charity and how they support people with sight loss to be able to live active and independent lives. We loved meeting Brock, a very good boy who enjoyed a good sniff around the classroom before snoozing at the front of the class.

My favourite teacher was Mr Girvan. It was impossible not to absolutely love English if he taught it. He was just the nicest human being and he never raised his voice at our class once and I had him for years from year 8 to year 12.
