Winner, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student of the year, Qld Training Awards, Regional Finals.
“CQ TAFE helped me to finish what I set out to do. It was hard going back to TAFE because it had been 10 years since I left school, but the teachers gave me lots of help. It was hard being on an apprentice’s wage, because I have a wife and daughter to look after, but now I have a full-time job”.

“Backed by high calibre art teachers from the region, TAFE has been a great place to obtain a diverse variety of skills on the arts industry and set me up for a career as an artist. Since enrolling I've enjoyed how the course has giving me direction to experiment with my arts practice, It’s both exciting and adventurous and has led me to many opportunities and amazing friendships".
