Lisa was accompanied by Spencer and Ayusha, trainee Environmental Health Officers currently studying at Western Sydney University.

What an incredible turnout at The Feed yesterday! Students packed the space to hear from former College Captain (Class of '99) and current NRL referee, Grant Atkins. While he shared highlights from his NRL journey, Grant focused on something even more powerful - the value of education and determination. With two TAFE qualifications, two undergraduate degrees, and two postgrad degrees to his name, Grant showed that hard work and persistence pay off - on and off the field. His top advice for students? Show up. Stay professional. Treat everyone with respect. Thanks for the inspiration, Grant! 👏🏉🎓
