Cath News report: Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth Peter Garrett has lauded the Southern Cross Catholic Vocational College in Burwood, NSW, as an "absolutely brilliant new facility", according to The Catholic Weekly.
Mr Garrett, who received a guided tour of the college with Federal MP John Murphy, was glowing in his praise of the new trade training centre's achievements.
The college is nearing the end of its first year, with 140 Year 11 students through its gates at the beginning of 2010.
"I want to congratulate Southern Cross Catholic Vocational College for the work you have done and acknowledge the contribution that has been made by the Catholic education sector to provide a facility of this scale," Mr Garrett said.
Mr Garrett also announced the latest round of Commonwealth funding for the Federal Government's Trade Training Centres in Schools program.
Two other Sydney systemic Catholic schools – LaSalle Catholic College, Bankstown, and Marist College, Pagewood, were among the 58 new school-based trade training centres chosen from across the country to receive this new funding.
