Our College has 20 students in 2018 settling into a TAFE College experience one afternoon a week to work towards credentials in a variety of service areas. We are fortunate this year to have four girls accepted into the start of nursing and two more girls continuing on from last year. Their feedback so far was enthusiastic. Pyper Campbell for example is very switched on to the fact that even after only a few sessions she has acquired valuable skills in diagnosing whether someone is really sick or not. All of the girls are eagerly looking forward to further training that will make them valuable in Health Services Assistance.
Brody Moffat said that he is very much at home in the adult atmosphere of TAFE and pleased to get his White Card and equipment ready for construction. Luke Agar is enjoying Plumbing and the girls doing Hairdressing are very pleased with the training and the friendly, professional way that it is being delivered. Christian Georgallis is loving the Real Estate training and the dynamics of this TAFE class at Campbelltown.
These students need to make sacrifices to be committed to this but have all have made a good start. Their families also support them in paying the extra fees and encouraging them to keep going. If you know a TVET student, perhaps you could share their experience and encourage them too.
