In the spirit of appreciation, the week was filled with a vibrant line-up of activities that brought everyone together. Staff came together to show appreciation for one another through creative and meaningful gestures, shared moments of fun and laughter, and celebrated the diverse talents within the organisation. It was also an opportunity for staff to do their part for the community and environment.
The week left a lasting impression on all, sparking camaraderie and fostering connections. While the events have ended, the spirit of togetherness and collaboration continues to define DSTA, setting the tone for an exciting year ahead.
