TAFE NSW Open Day at Gosford

Gosford Campus hosted TAFE NSW Open Day on 18 August. Visitors were able to experience life on campus with campus and specialised tours running throughout the day.

Everyone who attended and registered received a tote bag and free coffee before having the opportunity to explore information booths; meet teachers and TAFE ambassadors; discover learner support services including counselling, disabilities and library services and unlock Hidden Art created in augmented reality by TAFE students.

The Star FM 104.5 Radio Station Street Team were on hand with biscuit decorating, prize wheel and giveaways. Local Central Coast performers entertained with live music, while a yummy free sausage sizzle was cooking for all to enjoy!

National Reconciliation Week 2018

As Jon Black, our Managing Director said earlier this week, no matter where you are in NSW, you are on the traditional lands of an Aboriginal nation. We pay respect and acknowledge all the traditional custodians of the lands where TAFE NSW stands.

Our library network is a valuable resource for our indigenous and Australian history students with local cultural information available statewide. The collections include language maps, historical documents, stories, films and online sources.
Hunter Street Library celebrated National Reconciliation Week on Awabakal land with a cuppa, delicious treats and a treasure hunt to highlight our Australian collections. We learn so much from our ATSI Cultural Arts teachers and students while they explore culture and develop their art practice.

Visual Arts student “Megan” won our lucky number prize! Congratulations to our prize winners, and thanks for sharing Reconciliation Week with us.
