Welcome back to a new year and Term 1, 2008. I hope you all had a great Christmas,
New Year and Country Music Festival and are ready to get back into business for the
year ahead.
A new Office Administration person will be interviewed in the next week for the
Quirindi Office which means the Quirindi office will be closed for another couple of
weeks.
To set the scene for the new year we are having a get-together on Friday 1 February.
Information sheet for tutors and management committee attached.
Look out for the new courses this year with a focus on skills shortages for the region.

NOTE for Tutors: Term 2 program will need to be compiled and sent to the
printer by 18 March so if you will be away, have changes and new class ideas for
Term 2, you will need to have the information to Jo by 17 March.
