2025 SBAT's
We are thrilled to celebrate three outstanding students who have taken a significant step in their educational journey by signing up for School-Based Traineeships (SBAT). These motivated students; Charlotte Welsh, Mia Lasscock and Tarlaya Te-Kowhai  have demonstrated remarkable initiative by choosing to combine their academic studies with practical, industry-recognised training.

Charlotte will study a Certificate III in Fitness through UOW College and combine her studies with her work at Balance Holistic Fitness. 

Mia and Tarlaya will be employed by DCJ and are studying a Certificate III in Business Services offered at the college.

We wish these students all the best as they embark on their chosen pathways.
