Opportunities that keep on GROWING

Longerenong College has been a participant at the Wimmera Machinery Field Days for many years and this year was no different. Involvement included staff being on committees, working bees, selling bales of hay and general student and staff involvement during the three day event. A big roll up of visitors and prospective students attended our site at the recent the field days followed on by keen interest as we promoted the College at the South East Field Days at Lucindale.

The first term has been busy with welcoming students to the College and the Wimmera, helping settle the students into College life and supporting their studies in their respective courses. The second year students in the Certificate IV in Agriculture and the second year Advanced Diploma of Agriculture students start their work placements next week and they will return to the College on July 9, 2012.

The work placement program offers students a range of diverse opportunities within the agricultural industry to explore and work in. This can lead to exciting career opportunities with students being offered full-time work on completion of their course.

The College has been home to many during the last couple of weeks. Mentone Grammar students visited the College, which is part of the Country Life Experience program and the Wimmera Catchment Management Authority held their community forum at the College

Last week a group of very proud Longerenong College students crossed the stage and collected their graduating testamurs. The evening was an opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of our students in front of a large audience. It is motivating for everyone to see the rewards of hard work and commitment.

The guest speaker was former student and current sessional teacher Mr David Holland from Warracknabeal. David’s address to the crowd and graduates was both entertaining and inspiring.

The students commence holidays next week and will return after their break to three weeks of Shearing School.
