South Coast Workplace Learning Awards

Last week we celebrated the achievements of four of our Year 12 VET students at the South Coast Workplace Learning Awards ceremony. Alyah Williams (Sport Coaching), Kody Jeffery (Business Services), Grace Reid and Makaylah Cowan (Hospitality) were presented with certificates in Excellence in Vocational Education and Training. These awards recognise the commitment and achievement of these students in each of their courses.

Makaylah Cowan received the “2022 Outstanding VET Student of the Year”.  The judges recognised Makaylah’s commitment to her VET Hospitality course, her work placement and Makaylah’s enthusiasm for learning for life. Congratulations Makaylah.

Thank you to Mrs Kenna, Miss Gill and Mrs Paull for their work in the nomination phase of the Workplace Learning Awards.

You can’t be what you can’t see! 

During the first week of Term 3, Miss Gill and I attended a number of amazing professional learning opportunities. 

We visited a very cold Crookwell and stood amongst the massive wind turbines. Renewable energy is such a huge emerging market and there are so many opportunities for employment.  Electricians, engineers, and surveyors to name a few. These turbines need regular maintenance and there are many people behind the scenes that make this energy source viable.
