Second Namoi Jobs & Trade Expo A Great Success 

Our huge thanks again goes to the Narrabri Industrial Network, Future EDU and members of the Rotaract Club of Narrabri for staging another excellent Namoi Jobs & Trade Show. Our students benefitted enormously from the opportunity to connect directly and in a highly informative way with so many employers from around the Narrabri Shire. The significant amount of work it takes for organisers and exhibiting companies to stage such a large, first class event is appreciated greatly by staff and students at Wee Waa High School.
