Girls Can Too! Program at Moruya TAFE

Ruby Mullins, Tahlae Hall, Isabelle Jansen and Porscha Mears are currently attending the Girls Can Too program. It is a trade taster course hosted by Moruya TAFE. The girls are gaining hands-on experience in trades like carpentry, plumbing, and electrical.

The girls are enrolled in our Early Commencement Cert II Construction course and are considering a future in trades. They are inspired and encouraged by strong support from local trainers. We’re especially fortunate to have skilled and passionate trainers right here in the Eurobodalla region.

Congratulations to our students for embracing new challenges and showing that girls can too!
