Member for Swan Hill, Peter Walsh, impressed Parliament recently with the outstanding success of Tyrrell College’s business and community partnership program.
Speaking in Parliament Mr Walsh detailed the program, its partners and the benefits that are expected to flow from this partnership for local students.
“This program specifically targets one of the major issues facing our food and fibre producing industry, that of keeping young people involved in agriculture,” he said.
“The recognition of the value of the partnership at the local and now the State level is a reflection of the program and all involved in it.
“This is a practical program using expert knowledge to develop the student’s skills and which will be of benefit to the entire industry,” Mr Walsh said.
“I wish the school, the local businesses and the entire community the very best at the November 23 National Awards ceremony.”
