Attention all Trade Students!

Students are reminded that it is essential that you use your full legal name on TAFE enrolment forms.  If you have a preferred name that differs from your birth certificate, put this in the ‘preferred name’ section.

This is particularly important if at the completion of your course you intend to apply for a license (building, plumbing etc) with Fair Trading. All the names on the document you present need to match – otherwise you will have to pay a fee (currently $75) to have your name amended on the TAFE transcripts.

So, before you complete your course get this fixed at the Administration office for free!

For more information about applying for a licence or certificate, visit the NSW Fair Trading website.

Maitland RUOK? Day event

R U OK? DAY Conversations and demonstrations @ Maitland TAFE Canteen Courtyard

Now in its fifth year, September 12 marks R U OK? Day, a national day of action dedicated to encouraging people to regularly engage in meaningful conversation about the struggles of life.

In support of this, the Student Association, along with Careers, Counselling and Pathways Services and Headspace, are hosting an event providing free tea, coffee and conversation on Thursday September 12,  from 12:00 to 1:00pm at the Maitland TAFE Canteen courtyard.

Come along, grab a cup and immerse in the discourse!

Check out the Maitland library display as well  – when life’s a bit up in the air, we have these resources available to help you through it. Our range of books and DVDs displayed here are all ready to loan, just ask our friendly librarians where to find them.
