On Wednesday 24 August Year 12 had visiting speakers from TAFE NSW. Kathy and Kim from Miller and Liverpool TAFE spoke about the courses available through TAFE such as carpentry, electrical and plumbing.

They also discussed how TAFE could be a pathway to further study and how to apply to go to TAFE. Students asked a number of questions especially about apprenticeships and specifics about courses they were interested in.
