APL Media Easter roundup 2025: afternoon tea and our annual chick hunt
Office Easter fun: chick hunts and afternoon tea
Returning for another year, the APL Easter Chick Hunt saw staff search the office for chicks hidden throughout desks, filing cabinets and the occasional unsuspecting plant. With first, second and third place prizes on the line, the hunt brought out everyone’s competitive streak.
The festivities continued into the afternoon with an Easter-themed afternoon tea in the boardroom organised by office manager Hayley Rabin, complete with hot cross buns, cake and global Easter delicacies brought in by the team, reflect the diverse, food-loving spirit of the office.
