Finalists in NSW Training Awards

Each year the NSW Training Awards recognises outstanding achievement in the vocational education and training sector.  Students who are nominated for this award undertake a rigorous application process and must demonstrate outstanding ability within their chosen field.  Two Year 12 students have been selected as finalists in the Central & Northern Sydney Region Awards:

Jacqueline Lee                           Kate Van Es

• Jacqueline Lee:  Category – VET in Schools Hospitality (Kitchen Operations)
• Kate Van Es:  Category SBAT (School Based Trainee & Apprenticeships) Sport & Recreation.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Jacqueline’s teachers, Mrs Kathryn Della Vedova and Mr Joel Richardson.  Under their expertise Jacqueline has grown in both her level of skill and passion in Hospitality.  The application process is extensive, therefore, additional thanks to Mr Richardson for nominating Jacqueline and completing the application.  

Kate’s application was submitted by her employer/trainer, Leisure Employment Australia.  She is currently completing a traineeship at Lane Cove Aquatic Centre and is now an accredited swim teacher.

We are very proud of both girls and wish them well at the upcoming awards ceremony in June.
