Mahli. 25Crew student
“Yes, I'd definitely recommend it. It's already given me so many opportunities to build my event skills and learn about the events industry on the coast. Nerve-wracking, super fun, and something I'm so glad I'm doing.”

Rae. 25Crew student
“I’d definitely recommend the STUFFit course! It’s been such a great experience for me to get out of my comfort zone and be a part of a fabulous group. It’s a really great program for sure.”

Practical skills lead to employment

We are incredibly grateful for the impact Robyn and the STUFFit program in Nambour have had on our daughter Chloe’s journey in film. Through completing her Certificate III in Events and helping run the STUFFit Film Festival, Chloe gained not only the practical skills required to coordinate a professional event, but also the invaluable experience of collaborating with a passionate and supportive group of young creatives. Robyn’s mentoring has been nothing short of exceptional.
Kadie, Parent
Stepping outside comfort zones

Increased confidence! Each week they have opportunities to learn & experience something new through “doing” & they are beginning to see themselves as competent & capable learners, doing things that they did not believe they would be able to do! This has fostered their sense of value & self esteem in ways I had hoped for but not expected to happen so quickly. The environment is so incredibly nurturing.
Gemma, Parent
