Campus welcomes new VET cohort

A new cohort of Vocational Education Training, VET, students filled the classrooms and workshops at Federation TAFE Wimmera campus last week for their first day of the 2023 training year.

Wimmera campus VET liai- son officer Kim Boulton said she was ‘excited’ to see firstyear VET students join their second-year peers at the campus for the first of a 32-week VET year. About 200 secondary-school students from across the region travel to the Wimmera campus each week for automotive, building and construction, community services, early childhood education and care, electrotechnology, health, plumbing and salon assistant training courses.

Hindmarsh supporting pet owners

Hindmarsh shire pet owners can soon access subsidised cat desexing procedures and free microchipping. The council has received State Government funding to offer eligible pet owners an opportunity to access the procedure for their cat at a cost of $50.

Mayor Brett Ireland said increasing the number of desexed cats across the shire could further protect native species from feral cats, reduce roaming and decrease the number of unwanted animals surrendered to the council and rescue groups. He encouraged pet owners to apply for the program when it opens on Friday. He said people wanting more information, or to access an application form, could visit www.hindmarsh.vic.gov.au/catdesexing or contact manager governance and human services, Petra Croot, on 5391 4444.
