We are excited to share that one of our incredible students Tashi Mallawa was nominated for the Casey Young Citizens of the Year 2025 award for her work as a young person in the Casey community. 

Their dedication to serving the Casey community earned them this well-deserved nomination and the opportunity to attend the prestigious Casey Community awards ceremony during the holidays.

This recognition highlights their outstanding growth as a learner, leader, and community contributor. Their success is a wonderful example of how mentorship and guidance can help nurture young talent.

We look forward to seeing their continued achievements in the coming months as they embark on another rewarding term of community service and personal development!
