I am thrilled to share our incredible experience at Monash Tech School. It was an honour to have Stephen Fraser, Allie Clemans, and Dr Brendan Rigby with us on Friday, and their visit has further solidified the importance of our groundbreaking work.
Stephen Fraser, Deputy Secretary of School Education Programs and Support, brought his extensive expertise and passion for education to our Tech School. It was inspiring to witness his genuine interest in understanding the impact of the Tech Schools Initiative and its role in shaping the future of education in Victoria.
Allie Clemans, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Learning and Teaching at Monash University, is a visionary leader who has consistently championed innovative approaches to education. Her ongoing support of Monash Tech School is a testament to her dedication to nurturing a culture of learning and collaboration across the Monash community. Allie's insights and contributions during our discussions were invaluable, highlighting the strong connection between academia and practical, hands-on learning experiences.
Brendan Rigby, Director of the Tech School Branch, has been instrumental in driving the success of the Tech Schools Initiative. His commitment to empowering students and equipping them with the skills needed for the digital age has been commendable. Having him at MTS was a privilege, and his visit served as a reminder of this initiative's tremendous impact on students throughout Victoria.
Their visit was a remarkable opportunity for us to showcase the exceptional work being done at MTS. We had the chance to demonstrate how students thrive in an environment that encourages high-tech innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration.
Their presence also provided a platform for meaningful discussions with many of our dedicated staff members. Together, we explored the immense potential of the Tech Schools Initiative in preparing students across primary, secondary, and tertiary environments for the rapidly evolving high-tech landscape. The exchange of ideas and insights will undoubtedly help shape future strategies to enhance the learning experience for students across Victoria.
