An excerpt from our CEO
No Break, Drought, Tough times on farm.
The ongoing dry seasonal conditions have taken a significant toll on our farming community in South-West Victoria. Our compassion is extended to our students, their families, employers and our community. In our effort to continue to grow and develop the next generation through the driest year in decades, we remind you we are are here to support you where we can. Finding moments of positivity in this shared experience testing resilience, finances and our spirit can be tolling. I encourage you to make it a point to connect with friends, family and community and remember that support is available.
