\u201cAnother part we\u2019re excited about is bringing industry in and working with our students to connect with the applied learning program,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Year 9 student at Ruby Skinner said she is excited for the new building, which will be ready for use by the time she is in VCE.<\/p>\n
