How do you get to training or education?

Have Your Say: Training Access Survey

 

The Rural City of Wangaratta is exploring how residents get to training and education, and whether transport is a challenge. If you're a student, parent, or training provider, we invite you to complete a short survey to help inform future solutions.

Wangaratta Youth Art Exhibition

We have our third youth art exhibition coming in January 2026, at the Bainz Gallery (Wangaratta Library Foyer) This initiative was a project by some youth councillors in 2023,  wanting to create something for the young people who were into art.

 

Our "expression of interest" is open now for any young person 12-25 who would like to enter a piece, or three of their art. It can be photography, sculpture, painting, or mixed media; what ever wonderful piece they’ve created.

 

They don’t have to be living in Wangaratta, as long as they come here for school, or sports, or to visit friends (work, live, school or play are our requirements)
