Huge congratulations to Kalan on being named a finalist for School based Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Award ! π From a very young age, Kalan knew he wanted to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and become a carpenter. He spent his weekends right beside him in the shed, learning the tools of the trade and bringing countless wooden creations to life. πͺ΅π¨ Today, Kalan is an incredibly dedicated, reliable, and enthusiastic student and apprentice. We are so proud of the tradesman he is becoming and wish him the absolute best of luck with his nomination. You've earned this, Kalan! πβ¨ #NSWTrainingAwards #Apprentice #Carpentry #FutureTradie #ProudMoment #SkillsNSW @training_awards #bradalibuilding @catholicschoolsparra #catholicschoolsparramatta #cspd2026 #skillsnsw2026 #skillsnsw
