By Sam and Kurt

Less than four months until graduation and the seniors have been scurrying to complete every piece of our last internal assignments ever. However, workdays have added extra pressure on many seniors who are currently completing a School Based Apprenticeship or Tafe Course. Kurt, who is working as a light vehicle mechanic at Brackens Field Maintenance, has developed many crucial skills that can be applied both inside and outside of the school environment. Such opportunities are also given to many other students who are currently undertaking SBAs in a variety of fields. Sam is currently undergoing an SBA in a course for refrigeration electrical with Nathan Kohler at Golding Air Conditioning. He works two days a week while juggling the responsibilities of school and home life. Although it is a tough workload, he is enjoying this opportunity in getting a head start in his career. Both Sam and Kurt have completed a Certificate II in Engineering Pathways, provided through the College. It was a good opportunity because anyone could do it, as it is designed to educate anyone of any ability.

In addition some exciting news, our seniors have been gifted a brand-new senior tie. Although we have only received this with 10 weeks left in the year, all the seniors are ecstatic to receive the first ever senior ties courtesy of the school. It seems the college hopes to carry on this legacy into the coming years.
