 TEACHER TESTIMONIAL:
“It was easy for me to adapt my program to the Rotary brief because it was so broad. Because we’re by the sea in Altona, in 2024 we focused on ocean conservation. Students worked just as they would in the design industry, workshopping their key statements and calls to action in small teams, which satisfies the vocational element of the VET course. Students loved the experience.”
Ana Tuckerman,
VET Screen and Media Teacher, Bayside College, Altona
