Examples of such activities may include;

- Sharing knowledge / personal experiences to groups of students as a
guest speaker

To best build this data base, we would like to learn more about your professional backgrounds, skills, and interests so that we can create a Caritas College Friends and Family Inventory.

If you are aware of someone else who may be interested in engaging in this process, please direct them to contact Miss Alanah Rowe on 8648 9700.
