A North Geelong high school can create a student-led podcast, thanks to a state government grant.
North Geelong Secondary College will receive $6250 through the Lynne Kosky Memorial Applied Learning Grants program for VCE Vocational Major students to learn how to use industry-grade equipment.
Minister for Education Ben Carroll said the grant program was a tribute to former Minister for Education Lynne Kosky, after she died in 2014, who made significant contributions to vocational and applied learning.
“Lynne Kosky was a trailblazer for lifelong and applied learning, and we’re proud to honour her legacy through this important grant program,” he said.
“Our senior secondary reforms are opening up new pathways and helping more young Victorians gain the skills they need for the jobs of the future.”
Grant recipients included Ascot Vale Heights School, Cire Community School, Mansfield Secondary College, Mount Erin College, Nepean School, Somerville Secondary College and Stawell Secondary College.
The applied learning grants aim to support students with hands-on training during the final years of school to build the skills they need to ensure they are job-ready.
