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.

10.01.2022 Today we're proud to acknowledge two incredible award wins at the 2020 Australian Training Awards. Our congratulations go out to Deb Blow (a current Director of Faculty for Community Services, Health and Nursing and the Executive Leader Health and Nursing at TAFE Queensland), and our very own CEO Mary Campbell. Among the most prestigious awards of the night, their wins reflect their immense dedication and commitment to vocational education and training and we could not be p...rouder.

07.01.2022 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.

I have incorporated this into the name of my business in the word Flutter and in the symbol of a butterfly on my logo." This is her story: https://bit.ly/3lePDr4... #NAIDOC2020
