A huge thank you to Wattyl for their constant support and generosity in delivering paint yesterday morning to assist our Skilling Queenslanders for Work Certificate I in Construction participants. Your ongoing commitment helps create real opportunities for our students to gain hands-on experience while making a positive impact in the community.

Delivered through The Skill Up 4 Conservation program, this initiative provides direct community benefit through its partnership with Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, which, along with Garima Conservation Reserve, is proudly owned and managed by the National Trust of Australia (Queensland).

We’re proud to see industry, education, and conservation working together to create meaningful outcomes for both students and the community.

This Skilling Queenslanders for Work project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government.
