Born and bred in the country, I have been involved in agricultural education for 32 years, having commenced here at Cunderdin back in 1994 -1998, and as Teacher, HOD Trades and Deputy Principal at WACoA Harvey from 2000 – 2025. 

I'm married and have two adult children who are both involved in agriculture.

Troy Boromini

Trades - Automotive (returning)

I have the wonderful opportunity to watch Automotive students gain and recall car repair knowledge that they will use in the future at some point, whether it is large or small.

I’m a very keen AFL supporter; enjoy camping and visiting all the hidden gems around this wonderful country we live in. I adore water skiing and have a long passion for building old cars from the 20’s to the 50’s.

As an apprentice with a Mitsubishi Dealer, I won a Mitsubishi Dealers State outstanding excellence award and qualified for a 10 day fully paid trip to Japan with 10 other nominees from around Australia to visit 4 Mitsubishi car production factories/plant. Then as a tradesman, I worked in other Mitsubishi Dealers strengthening my product knowledge.

I successfully worked and managed various general repair workshops which added to my automotive repair industry knowledge and exposed me to wider range of car makers.  This then set the correct pathway for me to open my own mechanical repair business in 2000.

After running my business for 10 years, I changed my career to teaching apprentices the Automotive Trade Certificate.

I have been at the WA College of Agriculture – Cunderdin since 2016.

I'm from Kellerberrin. I am an ex-student and i was in the first group of female students to ever attend Cundy Ag.

I have worked at Cundy Ag since 2017 as a residential supervisor and Farm Technical Officer. Both my children attended here too. 

I love country life and I am passionate about making a difference to student's lives.
