Staff recognition and awards

Last week was a busy time for our former trainee and our senior instructor / glasshouse manager. 

Rebecca Meikle, who completed her Certificate 4 Production Horticulture traineeship course with us was nominated for an award as the best Junior Trainee at the ATEP (Apprenticeship and Traineeship Employment Partners) awards night. 

ATEP is a 'not for profit', community based organisation, proudly in operation since 1987, and were the group training company who worked with Chisholm during Rebecca's traineeship.

Just being nominated for the award was a huge achievement and whilst Rebecca didn't go on to win the award, we were all very proud of her for reaching the final. Well done Rebecca!

Senior instructor and Glasshouse Manager, Tony Bundock, came the end of a lengthy period of study when he graduated with a Masters of Education degree at Monash University last Thursday night.

Tony has been studying for his Masters degree part time, and he spent a great deal of that time undertaking a research project and writing a thesis to qualify for the degree. At this stage he tells us that the PhD isn't calling him but time will tell!

Tony Bundock M.Ed - in case you wondered,   
he doesn't wear the cap and gown in the greenhouse!
