About the School

Randstad Education is partnering with an innovative Government Secondary College located in Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs. This school is unique in its approach to applied learning, boasting extensive grounds that include a dedicated "living laboratory" featuring animal paddocks, productive gardens, and indigenous flora plots.
