What does Varsity College, a former Prime Minister and an Olympic Swimming Coach all have in common? They all did the “Five” in Varsity College’s Performing Arts Centre.
Today’s artefact from the vault comes from way back in 2004. In July 2004, the current Prime Minister of the time, John Howard made the journey from Kirribilli House to join Sports Australia Hall of Famer, Laurie Lawrence.
Prime Minister John Howard, Laurie Lawrence and Federal Member, Margaret May joined students from Varsity College and surrounding schools in our brand new senior performing arts centre to launch Lawrence’s Water Safety Program “Do The Five”. A program designed to help combat childhood drownings in Australia.
