Education & TAFE

The NSW Government today released the Interim NSW VET Review into the state’s vocational education and training sector.

The NSW Government is moving ahead with its election commitment to recruit an additional 250 (FTE) school counsellors, with 86 new school counsellors and psychologists starting work in NSW public schools at the beginning of this school year amid a 35% drop in vacancies since last year.

Marrickville High School and Inner West Council have joined forces to forge strong intergenerational connections between students and seniors through StoryTech Connect.

Along with so many other local Marrickville families, I look forward to the Ferncourt Family Fair Day this Saturday!

A Minns Labor Government will establish TAFE Domestic Manufacturing Centres of Excellence to help rebuild TAFE and our state’s domestic manufacturing capacity and capabilities, as well as boosting skills, apprentices, and creating thousands of new jobs – starting with Western Sydney, the Hunter and the Illawarra.

Congratulations to the Ashfield Boys High School prefect group for receiving a 2022 Amy Large Volunteering Award in early July!

Local residents, students and staff have come together for Summer Hill Public School's NAIDOC Week, celebrating the cultures and achievements of First Nations Australians.

A huge congratulations to local Petersham superstar, Ariadna Diaz for her outstanding gymnastics win at a national level back in May.

Children of the Inner West still have the opportunity to participate in the Music Together Playgroup that will be running every week until 29 June at the Plumtree Children's Services in Jarvie Park, Marrickville.

Generations of young Marrickvilleans have been educated at Ferncourt and the school is as central to the South Marrickville community as ever.
