NSW Training Awards - VET Student of the Year Nomination
Our college is proud to nominate Beau Mullins for the NSW Training Awards, VET Student of the Year. This prestigious nomination recognises Beau's outstanding dedication and achievements in the Certificate II Hospitality course. Beau has been an active member of the class and college community. He volunteered his time for college service, notably, participating in various functions including the Year 7/11 Peer Support overnight camp, Mother’s Day, Combined Schools Mass and serving coffee every week to our wonderful staff. He is always willing to peer mentor and take leadership roles in class and service periods, and this has transferred to receiving excellent feedback in his external work placement.
We wish Beau the best of luck with his nomination!
Work Placement
Our Sports Coaching students recently participated in a valuable work placement experience, assisting with the cross country event at St Bernard's Primary School. This opportunity allowed them to apply their coaching skills in a real-world setting, supporting the organisation and facilitation of the event.
Thank you to St Bernard’s Primary School for providing opportunities for our students.
