09.01.2022 Diwali is a festival of lights and everyone celebrates it differently. To me, Diwali is a festival bringing everyone together. It means dressing up in traditional outfits, applying Mehndi, decorating your house with lights and candles, eating traditional food, and enjoying the company of family. As someone studying a Master of Social Work, community plays a big role in my professional career. As a social worker, it is important to learn and understand different cultures and ...traditions. Diwali festival has a huge significance in India. Being part of a community gives opportunities to connect with people, to get support to reach goals, to feel safe and secure." Second year, Master of Social Work student, Ramandeep speaks about celebrating Diwali and the meaning of community. Thank you to all our students who submitted such beautiful photos. Happy Diwali, everyone!

01.01.2022 Two years ago I started a Cert III in Commercial Cookery (SIT30816) at Federation University Australia. I started this course while I was still running my business and I wanted to upskill. To return as a mature age student was terrifying. Thankfully, with some maturity behind me, I finished my studies and here I stand, a fully qualified cook. Now I have a certificate that I can show off with pride! Congratulations to Sharine for completing your Certificate III in Commercial Cookery. Proof that no matter what age, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. We’re very proud of your achievement and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! Interested in studying with us? Our Federation TAFE Info Sessions start Monday, 30th November. Register and find your course http://ow.ly/xD1I50CoAK9
