South Regional TAFE has celebrated its highest achieving students who completed training at a South West campus in 2022.
Students came from Bunbury, Busselton, Collie, Harvey, Margaret River, and Manijmup for a gala ceremony at the Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre on Friday, March 24.
It was a night of success for students as well as TAFE training staff, industry, and employers.
The evening began with 43 students from across our South West campuses being awarded Certificates of Excellence for their hard work in 2022.
Proceedings continued with the presentation of the Campus Student of the Year Awards, Construction Training Fund Awards, and Major Awards.
Three outstanding students were named as overall college winners in their categories on the night. These are the most highly regarded awards for a South Regional TAFE student to receive.
South Regional TAFE Managing Director Darshi Ganeson said being a TAFE award recipient is a huge accolade. It demonstrates to employers the excellent skills and dedication of our students.
Darshi congratulated all award winners and said they should be very proud of their achievements in 2022.
The Great Southern Awards Ceremony was held 10 March 2023. To read more, or see the list of winners click below
