Just as things in Australia seemed settled, events in Brisbane highlight how tenuous our ‘normality’ is.

With Easter plans put in a spin, we can only hope that our friends up north can quickly emerge from a few days of lockdown AOK. If you’ve been affected and need assistance with your course or training we’re here to help in any way we can.

A few good stories this week – including a podcast from our 2020 scholarship winner, and a lot of fun was had with this week’s #whatsthisfood – themed appropriately!

It’s a short week and with school holidays starting we’re taking a short break next week. Limited internet means it’s unlikely there’ll be a #weeklywrap next week, but lets see.

Have a safe and relaxed holiday, and we’ll see you soon.

Suean and Mike

P.S. – while there’s no #coachingcorner this month, check out the back catalogue anytime on our website.
