OC Annie Smithers (1983), the acclaimed chef, writer and restaurateur is launching her latest book "Recipe for a Kinder Life" in August.

She is a pioneer of the paddock-to-plate philosophy and at her much-loved restaurant "du Fermier" in Trentham, she serves French provincial-style, seasonal food, much of it harvested that day from her garden and local meats and poultry.

She is a regular contributor to "BluePrint For Living" on ABC Radio National where she discusses the rudimentary skills necessary for good home cooking.

Tickets for The Tempest are now on sale!

A huge congratulations to PLC Old Collegian Kishwar Chowdhury (2000) for making this year's Grand Final of MasterChef Australia. 

Over the last 3 months she has been an inspiration to watch as she has brought her home cooking to the fore with recipes inspired by her Bangladeshi heritage. 

This included Bengali dishes of Hariyali chicken, Bengali Khichuri with Begun Bharta and Bengali Patties. 

On Thursday on 24 June 2021, the Members of PLC (being the members of the College Council) approved the College’s updated Constitution (Memorandum and Articles of Association) following the introduction of new minimum standards required by the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) by 1 July 2021.

Another congratulations goes to a PLC OC in the Queen's birthday honours list - this time to Liz Gosper (Jones 1976).

Liz was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia in recognition of her service to people with disability through sport.

She is the Director/Head Coach of Inclusive Sports Training and is dedicated to training kids and adults with intellectual disabilities in the sport.
