Rotary is proud to be involved with the 2018 Inspiring Young People event. On Tuesday June 5th, the Wonthaggi Secondary College VCAL students collaborated with South Gippsland and Bass Coast Local Learning and Employment Network (GBCLLEN) to facilitate the 2018 Wonthaggi Secondary College Inspiring Young People event.
There were 50 students and 30 mentors in attendance.
