ARARAT Rural City Council has partnered with a local school to support and provide applied learning opportunities for senior secondary students as part of their VCAL studies.
The council-run program will support three Year 11 students from Marian college by covering the cost of their AUSTSWIM course and provide mentoring sessions led by Ararat Fitness Centre aquatics co-ordinator Judy Young.
Council CEO Tim Harrison said council’s mentorship program will help guide the next generation of Ararat swimming teachers to attain a nationally recognised swimming and water safety course, AUSTSWIM.
