Wollongong TAFE campus has recently been given the oppertunity to spend $8.5 million on up-grading and restoring their infrastructure. We visitied the campus last Tuesday afternoon to get some opinions as to what the money should be spent on. The answers we recieved were suprising, as many people didn't have an answer for us.
"I don't know, I don't really pay much attention..." says Wendy, a full time librarian who has worked at the TAFE for several years. Dean and Craig, both third year metal shop students, seemed to have no opinion either, joking around outside the cafeteria with cigarettes "The only thing I'd do is get rid of the no smoking signs."
Further investigation of the grounds led us to Alice, a second year apprentice chef. "I'd like the money to be spent on upgrading the kitchen equipment" she says. "Some of the ovens are a bit worse for wear." Damien, also studying commercial cookery, would like to see some of the seating areas done up. "The gazebos are starting to get a bit rotted, it'd be nice to find a seat that wasn't dirty and graffitied."
So it seems that the money is a good opportunity for the Wollongong campus. However, it may take a while for the decision to be made on what exactly it is to be used for.
