On Tuesday 25th February one hundred and seventeen new students (Freshers) were inducted into Cromwell at the Commencement Dinner. Thirty six special guests were present to witness the special occasion, including Moderator of the Uniting Church, Queensland Synod, Rev. David Baker. Our guest speaker was our Principal, Mr Ross Switzer, who gave an inspiring talk on what can be achieved in life, and university, based on lessons he had personally experienced in walking the Kokoda Track, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and trekking to Mount Everest base camp.
Each of the students were presented to the Cromwell community by their respective RA’s, congratulated by the Principal and Student Association President and then invited to sign the Cromwell register. The student oath was led by the Freshers of the Week, Thomas Hallam and Olivia Lyons. Alexandra Mison showed off her wonderful musical talent by playing ‘Arabesque Number 1’ by Debussy.
The night was topped off with a beautiful three course meal courtesy of the kitchen staff.
