The Orbost Education Centre has a new Manager and a new Committee! Attached is a short survey that will help shape the future of the Centre - What do you want to learn? Or what do you need your staff or future staff to learn for the job? The more engagement we have the better it could be!

I have posted a survey titled 'Orbost Education Centre - Orbost, what do you want to learn?' on SurveyMars. Please help me by filling it out. Thank you very much!
