In Hindu, Sikh, and Jain cultures, the festival represents new beginnings, prosperity, and the triumph of light over darkness, so celebrations often include fireworks and vibrant light shows.

19.01.2022 International Men's Day shines the light on men's health and well being, and celebrates the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities. Men's health and wellness statistics are often alarming, and even given the challenges of 2020, it is more important to support each other than ever before. Combining their TradeMutt shirts, starting conversations around mental health, with fundraising for Movember Australia, we wanted to give a shout out to and thank these trades teachers at our Alexandra Hills campus for their commitment to supporting men and encouraging healthier lives and futures. If you're participating in Movember too, drop your fundraising link and a cheeky 'stache photo in the comments below.
