On Tuesday, 2 September, Gunnedah students were encouraged over cake to have open conversations about adult learning. On Friday, the Inverell campus helped draw the Week to a close with a morning tea to #celebratelearningtogether. Winner of the ALW 30th anniversary STAR Award, Steff-Lee Frankland proudly showed off her certificate and there was great food to be enjoyed!
