Western Victoria – here we come!

2025-03-18


Our School Liaison Officer, Grace Brodie hits the road this week, speaking with students in western Victoria to showcase education opportunities at The Gordon. 

Working alongside 16 other members of the Tertiary Information Service, Grace will be visiting Hamilton, Portland, Warrnambool, Camperdown and Colac.

The objective of this regional three-day tour is to connect TAFEs and Universities with secondary students to promote tertiary education opportunities when they leave secondary school.


Some students find it challenging to visit campuses to explore tertiary study. The Tertiary Information Service brings the options to the student's door-step, it opens up conversations with students about not only TAFE and University opportunities but also how to use TAFE to pathway to University. Exposing students to these opportunities can be life-changing!

Grace also explained that one of the benefits of being able to connect face-to-face with future prospective students in their home communities is to step them through possibilities that they may not previously have considered. She will be able to showcase Gordon’s competitive advantage, and working alongside other leading TAFEs and Universities, Grace will be able to chat to students about opportunities that empower the student to choose what’s their best fit.

For over 138 years, The Gordon has been helping students build real skills with a practical, hands-on approach, giving students the confidence to build the career they want.

Grace is planning to travel in excess of 700 kilometres, travelling over 8 hours for this three-day trip to six independent regional destinations.

The Gordon is proudly part of the Tertiary Information Service which has operated in Victoria for 47 years.

Know someone in western Victoria with a secondary school-aged student pondering what’s next and what opportunities await?


This is where Grace is headed. (We also welcome enquiry calls)!
