2019 MENtal Brekky hailed a major success

The College was incredibly fortunate to host the chief executive officer of SANE Australia, Mr Jack Heath as the guest speaker at our fourth annual MENtal Brekky recently.

Speaking to a sell-out crowd of 240 guests Jack bravely shared intimate details of his own past while providing incredibly practical advice around providing support and assistance for those who may be struggling with mental illness.

The morning also featured a moving tribute to Old Collegian Danny Frawley (SPC 1976-79, PY1981) and heard heart-felt pleas from a recipient of funding through the Chris Yeung Fund and from Old Collegian and recently inducted Legend Peter Blenkiron (SPC 1974-77, PY1979).

Our thanks go out to all who attended and helped open further conversations around the issues of mental illness.
