Celebrating a decade of Shepparton's Education First Youth Foyer

A number of former students reflected on their time at the foyer during the event, with Caitlyn Hay saying the experience had changed her life.

“I left ready to take on the world beyond the foyer,” she said.

The alumni shared how the foyer had provided more than a safe place to live, helping them build confidence and practical life skills, from cooking to driving.

Alumni and current students were joined at the celebration by staff, local dignitaries and community members.
