“It’s very gratifying to see these students grow and transform their lives through education, with TAFE NSW equipping them with practical skills and work experience that ensures they are job ready.
“Belinda continues to demonstrate outstanding skills and knowledge of the aged care sector, while Cody’s dedication to his studies was outstanding as he strived to reach his dream of becoming a builder.
“I believe both Belinda and Cody are deserving winners of these prestigious awards and have bright futures ahead of them.”
Ms Roach was nominated for the award by TAFE NSW Dubbo Nursing teacher Alannah Fraser, while Mr Towell was nominated by TAFE NSW Construction teacher Mike Greer.
“Belinda demonstrated outstanding self-discipline during her study with TAFE NSW – the ability to complete the course while caring for a large family and completing several other courses is a credit to her,” Ms Fraser said.
[Cody] was always willing to learn, open to new ideas, willing to share his knowledge with his peers and always demonstrated great leadership potential.
