🌿 Educational Field Trip – Cockatoo Island 🌿

Our Diploma of Community Services students recently visited Cockatoo Island as part of the unit Promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Safety led by Trainer Nazia.

Students engaged in cultural activities including traditional music, dance, storytelling, Aboriginal-inspired painting, and group discussions focused on respect, inclusion, and culturally safe practices in community services.

In celebration of International Women's Day on 8 March, the Diploma of Community Services (DCS) class under Miss Nazia created meaningful artworks showcasing inspiring women and their remarkable achievements.

Through their crafts, students highlighted influential women from different fields who have made a lasting impact on society. Each portrait represents strength, resilience, leadership, and the power of women to inspire change in our communities. 💜

This creative activity encouraged students to reflect on the contributions of women around the world while celebrating the importance of empowerment, equality, and respect.

From Baliwag to Sydney: A Partnership Growing Stronger

The Australian College of Studies (ACOS) was honoured to welcome Atty. Robert John Donesa, President of Dalubhasaang Politekniko ng Lungsod ng Baliwag and Prof. Felipe Carlo Clarin, the Program Director for Institute of Business Administration of the same institution, for an official visit as part of partnership.

For the past two years, ACOS and BTech have been strong partners following the signing of our MOU and MOA — creating valuable opportunities for students and strengthening international collaboration between Australia and the Philippines. 🇦🇺🇵🇭

Day 1 began with a warm welcome and a quick tour of Sydney’s iconic landmarks — the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

During their visit, they met the ACOS team led by Ms. Roula Christodoulides (General Manager of Operations), together with Ms. Roohi Rehman (CRICOS and Training Manager), Mr. Reginald Mangilit (ICT Business Analyst), and Ms. Shiarrah Gayle Menguin (Student Support Officer and Advertising Specialist).

They toured our campus, sat in during our Graduate Diploma of Management (GDM) and Ageing Support classes, and had meaningful discussions with our trainers to further explore how we can expand and strengthen our partnership for the benefit of BTech students and the wider Baliwag community.

A highlight of the visit was touring Thorndale Foundation in Werrington — one of our valued work placement partners — where they saw firsthand how ACOS students gain practical, real-world experience in the community services sector.

We concluded the visit by celebrating Atty. Donesa’s upcoming birthday with the ACOS team — a wonderful way to end a productive and meaningful engagement. 🎉

We look forward to continuing this strong partnership and creating even more opportunities together.
