🏠✨ CathWest Students Getting Hands-On at TAFE! Our Industry pathway students are up to Lesson 3 of the YES Program — TAFE’s Youth Engagement Strategy, giving high school students the opportunity to explore potential career pathways through fun, hands-on taster courses. So far, our students have been busy bringing their creativity to life! After sketching out their own house designs, they’ve now moved on to the exciting stage of transforming those plans into ceramic models. 🏗️🎨 Some fantastic ideas are taking shape — it’s been incredible to see their imagination, problem-solving, and innovation skills in action. We cannot wait to see the finished designs💡👏 #SchoolDoneDifferently #TAFE #YESProgram #Innovation @cathwestinnovation #HandsOnLearning #FutureCreators @tafensw

Remembrance Day At 11am on Remembrance Day each year, Australians pause for one minute of silence to remember and honour all those who have served, suffered, or lost their lives in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. At CathWest, we will join together in observing this minute of silence as a mark of respect and gratitude. We pay tribute to the men and women who have served in our defence forces and honour their courage, sacrifice, and spirit this Remembrance Day. @lestweforget.aus #wewillrememberthem🇦🇺🇳🇿 #RemembranceDay2025 #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem
