Teen Business Awards 2025

Congratulations to Jasmine Jones, the Vocational Major students and team and in particular, Bel Stefani and Jade Cahoon for their work in our College being awarded School of the Year – Teen Business Awards 2025 

We are incredibly proud to share that our college has been named $20 Boss School of the Year at the 2025 Teen Business Awards! This national recognition celebrates the innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of our students, who continue to demonstrate the power of learning through real-world experiences.

This achievement represents more than just an award - it marks an extraordinary paradigm shift within our school community. Over recent years, we have embraced and championed the value of the Applied Learning Pathway, recognising that authentic, hands-on learning experiences are equally vital in preparing students for success beyond the classroom.

A special congratulations goes to Jade Cahoon and Bel Stefani, who represented the college exceptionally in the Rural Entrepreneur category. Their inspiring social enterprise project and professionalism on the national stage embody the very best of applied learning in action.

This award is the culmination of a shared vision — one where every student’s strengths, passions, and pathways are celebrated. We are excited to continue this journey in 2026, leading the way in applied education and empowering the next generation of innovators and changemakers.

Also very worthy of note as well, is that both Jasmine and Bel and Jade were finalists in the Teens in Business Awards:
