David Everett – Class of 2004 – United Future Foundation
David Everett graduated from the College in 2004 and has certainly gone on to make a difference in the World. In 2007 David planned to spend only four months in Western Kenya as part of a volunteer programme but this turned into eight months travelling to Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia.
Since returning to Australia, David has been coordinating with lawyers, builders and government officials in both Australia and Uganda, working on a mission to establish a primary school in Southern Uganda to provide a better future for under-privileged children.
David has partnered with United Future Foundation to build the school which will have 300 students and 10 teachers. David has already registered the business in Australia and has secured the land from the Ugandan Government. David will return to Uganda in 2010 to oversee the completion of the school and look for new projects after completing his Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Third World Development Studies.

Testimonials
John Sweeny – CEO Institute
Your staff and the students that we had the pleasure of meeting are a credit to themselves and the college.
You have clearly nurtured something quite unique and special and you have every reason to be immensely proud of your achievements.
Belinda De Shannon – Daughter in Kindergarten
I just wanted to attach a photo of our little girl with Mrs Grima on her 1st day at school. It was so nice of Mrs Grima to take the time out of the busiest day of the year to give our little girl a hug and have a photo.
The unbelievable way in which the welcoming and settling in of our Kindy kids for 2009 went was just perfect.
Thank you to all the staff for making this an easy process for our precious little one.
The Georgiades Family – Son in Year 12
This week my wife and I attended the year 12 parent/teacher evening. The opportunity to meet and discuss with individual teachers was highly informative and beneficial to us as parents.
The standard of feedback we experienced from all of Matthew's teachers was nothing short of excellent.
Your staff are all friendly, helpful, informative and professional, answering all our questions clearly and even offering ideas for us and Matthew to think about.
The level of enthusiasm, interest and passion they all displayed demonstrates to us that they enjoy teaching and sincerely have a desire to positively contribute to both the academic and "whole person" development of our son.
Whilst we have attended previous parent/teacher evenings, with expectations that have been met, this one made it very clear to us that we are very lucky and blessed to have such quality teachers serving our children.
In fact, it is now all the more apparent, that we too as parents are being highly serviced by the teachers of William Clarke College.
