The SCEGGS Podcast “Walk The Mile” Episode 81: When A Pet Needs A Vet with Dr Aimee BOCK (2011)

It isn’t unusual these days to see a parent dropping off their kids in the morning whilst bringing a furry friend (or a few) along for the ride. Not to mention the copious dog walkers that stroll the local footpaths each day. It is a great way to meet our friendly neighbours! But pets aren’t limited to the canine kind. Pets are common amongst our school community and I am constantly hearing stories about the “other” member of the family. Dr Aimee BOCK (2011) has been working as a vet for the last eight years in Sydney’s Inner West. In this podcast, she talks about why she pursued this career, some of the challenges she faces and what she has learnt. Our conversation also touches on sensitive topics, such as pet bereavement and euthanasia, which may be upsetting for some listeners. 

And a reminder that we are published on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other popular platforms so you can access it easier from your preferred device. I always welcome your feedback or any ideas you may have for further episodes. You will find each podcast as they are produced in this newsletter and on the other platforms as well as our website.

Christmas Collections 

The donations for all of our Christmas drives are starting to build and there have been many enquiries about all of the activities: Socks and Undies, Toy Drive, Tear Catalogue and the Christmas Hampers. Feel free to contact me here if you want to know more or have a look at last week’s edition of Behind The Green Gate for more information.
