What a day!
Our 2025 Work Prep Connect Graduation was full of proud smiles, hugs and a few happy tears.

Watching each student walk up to receive their certificate reminded us why we do what we do. Every student who took part worked hard, showed up and gave it their best. Seeing their confidence grow throughout the program has been such a highlight for all of us.

To our graduates, we are so proud of you!
To the families, thank you for trusting us!
And to our teachers and TAFE NSW support team, you make days like this possible.

Here’s to new skills, new friendships and the next steps ahead. You should all be very proud.

☀️ Summer is here!

We know the kids are excited to get outdoors, but in our Aussie climate, the sun can be extra strong and with the temps set to hit 40°C in our area this week, extra care is needed!

Protecting our little ones from harmful UV rays is so important for their health... both now and in the future.

Here are the SunSmart essentials for your family:

🌞 Slip on a cool, long-sleeved shirt
🌞 Slop on SPF 50+ sunscreen (reapply every 2 hours!)
🌞 Slap on a wide-brimmed hat
🌞 Seek shade during peak UV times
🌞 Slide on sunglasses
🌞 Sip plenty of water to stay hydrated

Let’s make this summer fun AND safe for us all!
