Blackrock Industries

Last year, Blackrock Industries and St Joseph’s Catholic College began an initiative to assist VET students to become prepared for the work environment. The local company generously donated Hi-Vis work shirts for the Vocational Education and Training cohort which are worn every lesson in both Metals & Engineering and Construction. 

Blackrock Industries CEO, Steve Fordham, recently visited the school and addressed the students from Years 10, 11 and 12, regarding workforce requirements and policies. He also provided another donation of Personal Protective Equipment including shirts, safety glasses and earmuffs.

All TTC classes, including Year 10 Metalwork, Years 11 and 12 Industrial Technology Timber,  Years 11 and 12 VOC Ed Construction and Metals are now kitted out with industry standard equipment.  

A huge thank you must be extended to Steve and Blackrock Industries for the ongoing donation of work attire. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them which we hope will continue well into the future.
