Today we finished up our first week of programs for the year, and what a wild week it was.

We had 2x Ivanhoe Grammer programs, which were hybrid in/out type programs based out of our Emerald Venue, Wombat Corner. While the camping part was based out of Gilwell Scout Park in Gembrook

We also had a Simonds program out, so stay tuned for some wicked photos from them!!

Happy smiles all around this week :))

💥OETI AT RISK💥

Unfortunately, due to cuts setout by our current government, OETI has had its funding completely cut, putting all that we do at risk.

This cut removes our ability to run Cert 3 and 4 Traineeships, as well as puts significant risk on our skills training.

Training such as High Ropes, Climbing, RAFT grade 2 and 3, and many more. Many of these skills are desperately needed, and sparsely provided.

PLEASE HELP US SAVE TRAINING, AND SAVE OUR INDUSTRY SKILLS.
