    ✨ Charli from our Trade pathway recently completed her work experience with Qantas. It was an exciting week that included learning about Qantas history, touring the Domestic Airport, hearing from engineering experts, taking part in a flight mapping activity, and chatting with cabin crew. Inspired by aviation pioneer Nancy Bird Walton, who would have celebrated her 110th birthday today, Charli is ambitiously pursuing a future career as an aviation engineer - we look forward to watching Charli progress, as she takes flight in completing her schooling here at CathWest. ✈️👏 . Here at CathWest, we do School Done Differently. Head to our website: https://cathwest.parra.catholic.edu.au to discover how you can complete your HSC while getting a head start on your career pathway. Thank you also to @qantas and @wsiairport for your support in making this happen. @catholicschoolsparra @womeninaviation
