On Friday the 5th September, the Bright Lions Club treated the current Bright P-12 College Year 12 cohort to a celebratory "Sushi" lunch prepared by Tingting and the talented Katsu team, with hot chips from Bright Takeaway being a welcome accompaniment.
This has become an annual event following the inaugural luncheon held in the midst of the Covid pandemic , which was instigated to remind the students that the community recognised their incredible efforts to push through such trying times, and were there to celebrate and support them.
The large current Year 12 cohort were congratulated by Lion's representatives (Jenni and Stephen) on reaching and completing their final year of schooling (exams are looming early next term). These students have successfully navigated their way through some extraordinary challenges, and are to be commended for their perseverance and positive outlook for the future.
They were wished all the very best for their exams and for their future venture.
