The celebrations will take place at Maribyrnong College, located next to Highpoint Shopping centre, from 11:30am until 1:15pm. Thank you for the part you have played in SAIL's seven years, we hope you are able to join us to celebrate.

The much-anticipated SAIL formal is fast approaching! All students aged thirteen and above and volunteers are invited to this night of nights. The event will take place between 8pm-11pm on Saturday 6th of September. More details soon!

 

River Nile Tutors Wanted

There is a need for tutors for VCE students in English, Maths and chemistry.  The students are Sudanese.

SAIL Xtend Update

 

As the 2008 Beijing Olympics dominates the airwaves, broadsheets and imagination throughout the country, SAIL’s own potential Olympians are going through the paces on the Athletics track.  Meanwhile, drama queens (and kings) are treading the boards at Braybrook.

 

Hip Hip Hooray! SAIL is turning 7!

 

Get your party hats on and prepare for cake – SAIL’s 7th birthday is just around the corner.  Festivities are set to dominate proceedings on Saturday, 23rd August so come ready to celebrate.

 

 

 Big Thanks for cleaning up!

 

Thank you once again to everyone for helping with the clean up each and every Saturday - it really does make the running of SAIL so much easier.  Thanks again!

 

 

Can’t Come Form online.

 

Thank you to all SAILors for making great use of the online Can’t Come Form for Footscray.  It is a huge help for coordinators to know as early as possible when you are unable to SAIL, as we can organise car collection and student-tutor match ups fantastically well as a result.  It’s only helpful though if it’s done before 5pm on a Friday!!  If something comes up at the last minute and you can’t make it, please let Dave know either by texting or calling his mobile (ask if you don’t have the number!).
