Lithgow High School hosted its annual Business Breakfast this morning, bringing together local employers, business owners, and community members in a celebration of partnership, purpose, and the shared goal of preparing students for life beyond school.
Held on campus, the event provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to connect, share ideas, and discuss how the school and community can continue working together to create meaningful post-school pathways for students.
Principal Mr Loupos warmly welcomed guests and spoke about the critical role of community involvement in education. “It takes a village to raise a child, and we are incredibly grateful for the connections we have within our community,” he said. “The support of local businesses and organisations plays a vital role in shaping the future of our students, and for that, we are deeply thankful.”
The breakfast also served as an opportunity to formally acknowledge and thank the many businesses and organisations that have hosted students for Work Experience in 2024. Their time, mentorship and willingness to guide young people in real-world environments continues to have a profound impact, helping students to build confidence, develop workplace skills, and explore career options.
Lithgow High School places strong emphasis on building partnerships that benefit students, and events like this reflect the value of those efforts. The collaborative spirit shown by all in attendance underscored a genuine commitment to nurturing the next generation of workers, leaders and contributors to the local community.
A special thanks was also extended to the students who worked behind the scenes to make the event a success. From preparing and catering to serving, ushering and managing logistics, their professionalism and enthusiasm were evident throughout the morning. Their efforts reflected pride in their school and impressed guests from across the region.
The school expressed its appreciation to all who attended and contributed to the success of the morning. With continued community engagement and support, Lithgow High School remains focused on providing students with the skills, connections and opportunities needed to thrive beyond the classroom.
