Future Leaders Graduate

Future Leaders Graduate


Pictured with Mr. David Peart (right) and Mr. Chris Coy (left) are three of our Year 10 students Jools Bond, Darby O’Meara and Marcus Vaughan who received their Certificate of Participation at the recent Awards Night at Deakin University’s CADET Building.

This was in recognition for their participation and commitment to the well organised Geelong Future Leaders of Industry Program - facilitated by the Geelong Manufacturing Council. This initiative is sponsored by Skilling the Bay which is a partnership between the Victorian Government, Deakin University and The Gordon TAFE.

At Saint Ignatius College, we specifically open this opportunity to students in Year 10 who have a keen interest in researching careers around the Manufacturing/Engineering sectors. The program consists of a series of 6, day-long program events during Terms 2 and 3. Each program event takes place at a different location so students discover and learn about the diverse nature of advanced manufacturing in this region.

Students are involved in a number of activities including site tours, presentations from experts in their field as well as team orientated workshops.

Saint Ignatius College students have benefitted from this no-cost program for over ten years and I would strongly recommend any Year 10 student to contact me to discuss the program and when required, apply for the 2019 intake.
