Orbost local, Hayley Ingram recently travelled to Melbourne with her parents and Orbost Education Centre (OEC) manager, Merralyn Barnes, to attend the 2024 Learn Local awards at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
Hayley was a nominee in the Ro-Allen-Pre-accredited Learner award.
Nominated by Merralyn for her outstanding effort in following her dreams after studying at the OEC Introduction to Floristry course, Hayley then completed both her Certificate II and Certificate III in Floristry at Melbourne Polytechnic.
Although unsuccessful in winning the award on the night both Merralyn and Hayley’s parent are very proud of what she has achieved.
Again, this year Forget Me Not Floristry and both the Introduction to Floristry and Working in Floristry (Level 2) course learners were successful in their submission of designing and supplying the beautiful arrangements for Learn Local awards.
“It is a huge achievement for all involved and I was so proud that our course learners and trainers did an outstanding job again this year,” Merralyn said.
