“We have worked closely with the LGBTQI community over the past 12 months to ensure our organisation is welcoming and inclusive,” Mr Heaney said.
“Activities have included sponsoring two LGBTQI Scholarships for the FLEDGE Leadership program, the provision of a space for GV Pride to meet, providing Gold Sponsorship to the Out-in-the-Open Festival and the hosting of a Wear it Purple day morning tea.
“GoTAFE is also extremely proud to have permanently raised Rainbow Flag’s across all campuses during 2019.
“While this might be seen as a simple action, members of LGBTQI communities across our nine campuses tell us that it is a vitally important symbol, which promotes inclusion, acceptance and celebration, and allows people to feel safe to express who they are as individuals at each of our campuses.”
