The ‘Behind the School Gates’ event series is a free initiative designed to showcase the innovative programs, state of the art facilities and passionate educators to our local industry. These tour’s also foster a valuable and supportive connection between education providers and local industry. By establishing this connection, we aim to demonstrate that students are more ‘career ready’ than ever. In doing so, we are creating and building a stronger foundation for the future of our local workforce.

Grow Our Own (West) wish to thank Duncan Lovelock (Principal), Melina Regusa (Careers Advisor) and the incredibly passionate staff of Murrumbidgee Regional High for the support shown to this new event series, and their ongoing relationship with both the Grown Our Own committee and the extended Griffith business community.
