Mordialloc College Students Shine at the Tech & Trade Expo!

Recently, our students had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Tech & Trade Expo, exploring a world of hands-on career pathways and future industries. The energy on the day was incredible, with our girls eagerly jumping straight into the hands-on plumbing workshop. They absolutely threw themselves into the interactive displays, trying out new skills and asking insightful questions about the trades. Our students walked away feeling inspired, highly motivated, and buzzing with new ideas about where their vocational pathways can take them after school with many of them declaring it the "best expo ever!"
