Dakota Hurney is a Year 11 student currently completing her Certificate III in Business Administration (Financial) and Certificate II in Business Services at CathWest Innovation College.
Along with her studies, she is working as a student trainee with Yamaha Motor Australia where she is able to learn the financial aspects of business administration.
During her two-week industry placement block in Term 3, Dakota was given the opportunity to participate in a Transport NSW advertisement, where she drove a Yamaha jet boat. After an hour of filming, Dakota now appears in the ad for boat licence training and water safety, which is played across all Service NSW locations.
The quality of Dakota’s work and attitude is far beyond her years. She is responsible, trustworthy and fast becoming a necessary member of our team.' says Daniel Waetford, External Training Manager at Yamaha Motor Australia.

Furthermore, Dakota joined Yamaha Motor Australia for a drone day at St Leo’s Catholic College in Wahroonga.
As part of the visit, Dakota was asked to address 30 students with a short speech about herself, employment and school.

During the week YEAR 10 Inquiry were excited to attend the Aboriginal Culture Heritage Excursion hosted by Trent and Shi from @Koori Kinnections. Thank you also to@penrithcitycouncil for your coordination of the day. Students were taken on a guided bushwalk pointing out traditional uses of plants and how their people sustainability use our landscape. This was followed by a yummy morning tea of freshly made damper with native herbs and jams, and lemon myrtle lemonade. Students were given a guided weaving session, making a bracelet using traditional techniques. The afternoon session included a yarning circle where students were encouraged to ask questions and discuss indigenous topics. The day finished with an indigenous themed lunch of kangaroo salad, pasta with native species and roasted potatoes in native herbs. #penrithcitycouncil #koorikinnections #cspd2024
