With applications for study in 2025 now open, Saturday, August 24 marked GOTAFE and La Trobe Shepparton’s last open day for the season.

The third and final day welcomed prospective students to the Fryers St campus, offering a glimpse of the courses and facilities on offer.

Attendees met with expert staff, toured the modern facilities and had a chance to get all of their questions about courses and career opportunities answered.

The on-the-spot application assistance made it easy for students to sign up and ensure they were ready to learn in the coming year.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to snap some pics. Here’s what she captured.
