College and facilities member honoured

The College was honoured with a plaque this week for supporting Radford Grounds Staff member, Mr Matthew Hemmings, in his volunteer work during the floods in Queensland earlier this year.

'The Employer recognition event is our recognition of the incredible employers who empower their staff to serve our community through the ACT SES,' says Mr Tim Saunders, Assistant Director, Membership and Training at the ACT State Emergency Service (ACT SES).

Tim and Chief Officer Steve Forbes visited the College to present the plaque to Matthew and Radford College Principal, Mr Christopher Bradbury.

'These are workplaces that answer the call, sometimes with just a moment’s notice, by making it possible for their employees to leave their desks, workshops and worksites to head towards danger, offer help and stand beside their fellow volunteers,' says Tim. 'For this, we offer our ongoing appreciation and this small token to say thank you.'
