🎤 From the SAS to the Careers Expo.

The Western Victorian Careers Expo is excited to welcome Reg Crawford as our guest speaker.

After a 22-year Army career, including service in Rwanda, East Timor and Iraq, Reg now helps people and organisations unlock their potential and perform at their best.

His message for young people is simple: success isn't about having all the answers—it's about developing the mindset, resilience and confidence to keep moving forward.

PARENTS.

Your teenager probably doesn't want you tagging along at the Expo...

That's okay. Come anyway.

While they're collecting bucket hats and stress balls, you can be asking the questions they won't.

BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS TO.

It's a bit random.

It's not particularly glamorous.

Most people still aren't entirely sure what a LLEN does.

But it matters.

So here's this week at WSMLLEN (not a typical week... but then again, there never is one).

✔ Parent information session at Wimmera Lutheran College
✔ FutureME at Edenhope College with Deakin University
✔ Whip Around Wednesday
✔ Unserious Careers parent session with Alana Kilmartin
✔ Attended HRCC's All In For Reconciliation event
✔ Watered the office plants (critical infrastructure)
✔ Year 9 career planning meeting
✔ Two Year 10 Careers presentations at Horsham College
✔ Powering the Future immersion for students interested in STEM
✔ Catch-up with KFC, valued partners in work placement
✔ Confirmed sponsorships for the Western Victorian Careers Expo
✔ Meeting with Goolum Goolum on inspiring career pathways
✔ Transport fund reporting
✔ Careers Expo exhibitor online chat
✔ Confirmed VDSS 2027 offerings with RTOs
✔ Ordered trophies from PP&U
✔ Received some sneaky secret grant news we can't wait to share!
✔ Briefly questioned whether Wednesday was actually Friday, or perhaps the Monday-est Monday ever recorded.

And finally...

We wrapped up the week with the most important task of all:

Creating a Facebook post to prove to everyone that we actually did all of this.

Have a fantastic weekend!
