We're proud to announce our partnership with the Re:act program, empowering students to raise awareness about road safety risks. This year, graphic design students at Bendigo TAFE were challenged to raise awareness about the dangers of using mobile phones while driving or as pedestrians. Congratulations to Lauren O’Dea for her winning design! Thank you to Transport Accident Commission (TAC) , Hard Edge, and all students involved for helping make Victorian roads safer. And for students looking to get involved – the competition will soon be heading to The Gordon TAFE.
