Adam, Learning Specialist at Latrobe Valley Flexible Learning Option:
So Latrobe Valley Flexible Learning Option (FLO) was set up to provide a space for disengaged students. Those that might not know what they want to do in the future.
So the Tech School's been able to show students how technology can be used, within certain industries and how it is, going to be, you know, the way of the future.
Kat, Operations Manager at Gippsland Tech School:
We've worked with Kurnai now, since we have opened, five years ago. The FLO students that are here today are an amazing support of what we do.
Riley, Student at Latrobe Valley Flexible Learning Option:
I like going to Tech School because we get to do stuff that we can't normally do anywhere else, and it's gotten me into some other hobbies like VR and all that, but also just learning about tech and all, like how it's changed so much over the years.
Very interesting and I'm glad that we have the opportunity to try it.
I didn’t know much about VR, but when I go to try it for the first time, I really enjoyed it. Convinced me to step into the world of VR and have a look at more of it.
And now I have my own headset and I try out stuff on it, and I'm glad that I actually got the opportunity, because it's rare to get an opportunity to go to a place like this.
Don't be nervous. Give it a try. Sometimes it's hard to try something new, but trust me, it's fun to try something new.
