Immersion Visit to HMAS Kuttabul
Careers Advisor Mr Tonks accompanied students interested in pursuing a future in the Australian Defence Force — particularly the Navy, on a tour of HMAS Kuttabul, gaining valuable insight into Navy life, training pathways, and the wide range of career opportunities available.
This hands-on excursion helped our students explore real-world options beyond the classroom and deepen their understanding of what a career in the Defence Force could look like.
