One of Paluma’s youngest residents has finished off the school year with some impressive awards.
Jack Appleton attends Ingham State High School and is finishing Year 12 in 2021. Recently Jack received two awards:- A Merit for Studies and the Subject Award for Certificate II in Automotive Studies.
Anyone who knows Jack, can attest to the fact that he has a remarkable ability to fix anything on wheels or with an engine! He is well known for gathering up all the unwanted bikes, scooters, motorbikes and even lawn mowers from around the village and Ingham township, to recycle the parts into contraptions that go – usually at full throttle and sometimes with a bit of noise!
His parents (Neil and Jennie) are most proud of his efforts at school this year. Mum Jennie might have to stop complaining now about all the ‘bits’ and ‘parts’ taking up space on the verandahs. I reckon it won’t be long before Paluma has its own mechanic on hand!
Congratulations Jack from all your friends and extended family at Paluma. Well done mate, we are proud of you!
Congratulations Jack, and well done on your outstanding achievements and impressive awards. Regards Dorothy and Peter Klumpp
Thank you Dorothy and Peter. I will pass your good wishes on to him. He has been accepted as an apprentice Boilermaker with WILMAR and starts at the end of January. His Graduation Dinner is on the 18th November so more photos I’m sure. Jennie
Thanks Michele. You have the gift of writing interesting pieces and I’m not just saying that because it’s about Jack. 🥰😂 All your pieces are great reading. Jack approved too. Yes we are quite proud of him. Jennie
