BTC Hosts Variety Club Car Rally

The Variety Club Car Rally came to Charters Towers for a few days. With over 300 participants, BTC 's "Dam Oval" looked like a camping park for 2 days. The College provided space to camp, toilets and showers and food. It also organised and catered for the dinner at the Titley Centre on Monday night. Students washed the cars on Tuesday norning to raise much needed funds to be a 'liberty swing' for Lissner Park. A liberty swing allows wheelchairs to attach ti it so that children in wheelchairs can enjoy the feeling of swinging through the air without having to leave the safety of their chair. BTC Interact group is aiming to raise money toward the purchase of this swing.A HUGE thanks to Mr Gray for co-ordinating this fundraising venture, the kitchen staff, the students and the teaching staff who gave up a lot of their time on an already busy show weekend. It was a hugely successful venture.

Cattle Club Representation at Charters Towers Show

The BTC Cattle Club had their first outing at the Charters Towers Show.Students were involved with the Young Judges , Young Paraders and in one class of Led Steer.With around 20 students brightly representing the College it was hard not to notice the BTC contingent. Students conducted themselves admirably with many successes in their events. The experience was enjoyable and definitely educational. Thanks to Jenny and David Black for their tireless efforts and the use of their cattle and facilities, to the numerous staff who helped supervise the cattle clubs and the drivers who transported the students to various venues.
