Fun Start to the Spring Term for Saints Staff

September 07, 2024 | Campus | Author: Kim Urquhart, Head of HR at St Stithians College

On Friday 6th September staff across all schools and departments enjoyed a fun day together.

With the theme of “One 4 All & All 4 One” being our focus for 2024, we wanted to do something different to allow staff to have fun together exploring our beautiful campus while getting to know colleagues from other schools a bit better. The College HR team supported by the formidable campus events team organised a wonderful day for all our staff.

The day started with our Chapel Service where Rev. Kekana shared an inspirational message and challenged us all not to forget to “water our personal dreams”. This was followed by the introduction of staff joining the College this term along with acknowledging staff who are celebrating long service milestones.

Staff then made their way down to Ridgway Field where they were met by the team from SA Teambuilding who got everyone going with a fun dance and then into teams for an amazing race event.

Each team of twenty staff were presented with their book of tips and clues and were sent off to explore the campus to complete a range of activities which included deciphering some cryptic riddles which would take them to key landmarks on the campus, some they may not have even had time to visit before.

On their return to the field, staff got to enjoy a hearty lunch prepared by Tally Ditend and his team from Empact Catering. Staff were treated to sample a range of delicious desserts from the team at Frozen for You who have kindly offered all Saints staff and families special discounts at their Coachman’s Crossing Stores so this was a great way for staff to taste some of their products.

A big thank you to Seattle Coffee for donating coffee vouchers to the team that displayed the best “gees” and to Saints Brew for their vouchers for the winning team! A special thank you also to all the support staff helping behind the scenes to ensure everyone got to enjoy a fun day connecting with colleagues before we welcome our students back to campus next week.
