‘Behind School Gates’ Wade High

Grow Our Own, together with Griffith Business Chamber, and our local education providers are proud to host ‘Behind the School Gates Tours’ in 2025.

These ongoing tours are a FREE initiative to showcase the programs, state-of-the-art facilities and passionate educators supporting the next generation of our local workforce. From Agriculture to construction, STEM to hospitality; we proudly welcome our local business community to explore ‘Behind the School Gates’ of our education providers.

This initiative has been established to continue to bridge the gap between education providers and local industry, and to highlight how students are more ‘career ready’ than ever. Building connection, through knowledge and understanding is a powerful tool in continuing to build our local workforce from this grassroots level.

During the ‘Behind School Gates’ Murrumbidgee Regional High School - Wade Site, attendees had the opportunity to hear from the Principal and Careers Teacher on the current programs the school offers, from work readiness too career entry. The tour showcased the new state-of-the-art facilities students use in their classrooms. They also had the opportunity to connect with the department teachers, and get first-hand information surrounding students career aspirations.

These tours are more than just a visit, they’re an opportunity to build partnerships, share knowledge, and invest in the future of our region.
