A big congratulations to Macleay College’s Journalism student and Hatch Reporter Indi Brummelen on her first story published in ‘The Age’. Eyelash extensions have become an increasingly popular trend over the past two years, prompting Mater Christi to implement its “no eyelash extension policy”.

Ouch!
