South Coast Schools Excellence in Vocational Education & Training Awards 2019

Wednesday night Workplace Learning held the South Coast Schools Excellence in Vocational Education & Training Awards 2019 in recognition of Vocational Education workplace excellence. Five nominees from Carroll College recognised on the night for their hard work and dedication in their chosen vocation were:

Angus Turner - Business Services

Drew Daly - Construction

Faith Ralston – Hospitality

Jasmin Gleeson – Hospitality

Darcy Ranking – School-Based Trainee McDonalds’ Retail

This year the field was extremely strong and from the twelve students in total nominated, there were two Student of the Year Awards presented. Angus Turner is to be congratulated for receiving this award. He has been an exemplary VET student and is currently enrolled in three VET subjects; Business Services, Construction and Sport Coaching.

I would like to congratulate these five outstanding students as well as all of the senior VET students at Carroll College. Completing the HSC with a vocational course included in their package is providing them with employability skills and preparing them for their future whatever that path they choose to take.
