Every Opportunity taken

Industry Tour

On Thursday 12th September 2019 a group of students from Cobram SC visited local workplaces to see first-hand what it’s like to work in different industry areas. The tour provided an opportunity to gain an understanding of the businesses and see the various job opportunities that are available in the local region. Thank you to Crow Constructions, CPE Construction, Recopak and Booths Transport for giving up their time and supporting us on this industry tour.  The information, key messages and advice they provided was really beneficial to our students.

Thanks again for support provided by businesses involved and Moira Shire Council and Cobram Community House Inc.

Moira Youth Council

The Moira Youth Council representatives travelled to Numurkah for a session with guest speaker Nathan Hulls.  Nathan is a leading youth motivational speaker, he speaks from his own experience of growing up with a disability and suffering the loss of his mother.   The session was really interesting and we learnt a lot from it, mainly how to keep positive and the definition of success is our own.  Cody D.
