We are treated as one of their own, and we treat the school as though we own it ourselves. The photo is me with the school admin team." From team mate Pat Kenny - Contract Manager: "One of the best examples of the culture we have built across our PPP2 schools is Wayne Carling, our Facility Manager at Rolleston College. Wayne doesn't just look after the school buildings and grounds—he has become a valued part of the school community. In his own personal time, he has established and coaches the school's football team, giving students opportunities to develop, belong, and succeed both on and off the field. His commitment goes well beyond the requirements of his role. It reflects the pride our people take in their schools and the genuine relationships they build with students, staff, and the wider community. At PFM, we believe our role is about more than maintaining facilities. It's about creating environments where schools can thrive. Wayne embodies those values, and his dedication is something we are incredibly proud of. His contribution is a testament to the passion, care, and community spirit that our entire team brings to the PPP2 contract every day."    ![s gardiner WS selfie](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/PFM/PFM%20Internal%20Comms/Work%20and%20Smile/Selfies/s%20gardiner%20WS%20selfie.png?width=500&height=396&name=s%20gardiner%20WS%20selfie.png) **Shev Gardiner** Communications Technician, QLD "I get to come to work every day and work with the most beautiful girls and together we’re building up women in trades numbers" --- More August selfies ![a lee ws selfie](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Internal%20Comms/Work%20and%20Smile/Selfie%20Challenge/a%20lee%20ws%20selfie.png?width=302&height=428&name=a%20lee%20ws%20selfie.png)   **Adam Lee** Painter Foreman, SA "I am so happy working with programmed i just got my new car" ![l drazic ws selfie](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Internal%20Comms/Work%20and%20Smile/Selfie%20Challenge/l%20drazic%20ws%20selfie.png?width=300&height=423&name=l%20drazic%20ws%20selfie.png)   **Lucas Drazic** Electrician, VIC "For all of us - working outside on a beautiful day" ![d craig WS selfie](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Internal%20Comms/Work%20and%20Smile/Selfie%20Challenge/d%20craig%20WS%20selfie.png?width=500&height=386&name=d%20craig%20WS%20selfie.png) Donna Craig Manager Urban Maintenance, NSW "The lovely, hard working colleagues I work with and also the passengers at the airport where I work that you help and make a difference.
