Clarkson Student fit for a Queen
My name is Tashai van Niekerk and on the 28th of October I had the honour and opportunity of performing in front of the Queen of England and the 52 presidents and prime ministers of all the commonwealth countries at CHOGM 2011 (Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting).
On that day, I walked into the office and the teachers gave me a letter from the government saying that I got nominated to perform. From that moment, my life was changed.

In the past there have been a fair few negative comments made about Clarkson Community High School and the students who attend here, but today I am very proud to say that, once again, our students have proved the naysayers wrong.

Why I Joined VET
By Lucy Pound
In 2010 I joined VET because I wanted to get into the tourism industry. I went to TAFE and worked towards gaining a Certificate II in Tourism. I worked in travel agents and undertook office duties whilst learning about how a travel agency operated. At the end of the year once I had finished my certificate, I made the decision to move to business where I completed my Certificate I in Business Services.
