Aren’t we lucky to have such talented tradespeople working on our new site! There’s Mel the plasterer, George the carpenter, Dean - “Mr All-Rounder” and Pat our incredible Site Manager.

All doing a fantastic job to get our beautiful new training centre ready for opening in September.

And - to top it all - they’ve all kindly agreed to come and share their skills with our students over the coming months. Thanks guys! 😊

On track for opening day!

Work continues to get our multi-skills bays finished to welcome our first students in September. While outside our bricklaying and plastering area still has work to do and a roof to go on!

Big thank you to all our contractors who work so hard. We couldn’t do it without you!
