Auxiliary Tineke Close delivered an inspiring speech to her graduating classmates. “We all come from many different backgrounds and are varied in ages, we are a unique group of people and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of such a close group, we have worked together and provided support to each other throughout this course, we are a big
family with many friendships formed. “It is now time to say goodbye as we have finally completed our training and are now off to Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Katherine. We are ready to serve and protect and work within our communities to a brighter future. Stay strong, stay safe and never forget where you came from. Set goals, aim high and never stop learning.”
