25.01.2022 As part of #TheConnectionSVA, Sunshine College built a Research & Development culture, developing skills and capabilities that will support students to become lifelong learners who are flexible and adaptable to a changing world. In one project, students learnt how to program flying drones: 'It’s about thinking like an engineer, thinking about problem solving, not just following the normal rules but stepping outside to be creative to get outside a process,' said Teaching and Learning Manager Janeden River.

24.01.2022 Young people are in crisis. There is an urgent and immediate need to ensure that they can access jobs. If we don't make this happen, as a group their incomes wi...ll be lower and they will be more likely to suffer poor mental health. This, in turn, will impact the whole of Australia's community. That's why we have joined together with a number of youth organisations, employers and job service providers to call on the Prime Minister to support young people in this October Budget before it's too late. Will you support our call? Share this post and tag Prime Minister Scott Morrison (ScoMo), and together we can show him that a united community believes in supporting young people's futures. #auspol #budget Read our full letter to the PM here: https://nycinquiry.org.au//Open-Letter-to-PM-Scott-Morriso YMCA Australia Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) Social Ventures Australia Council of Small Business Organisations Australia Campbell Page The Salvation Army Australia MYAN Australia The Australian Youth Affairs Coalition GAN Australia
