The Geelong Tech School acknowledges and truly thanks Ford, Barwon Water and Austeng, who were involved in the initial start up phase of the Geelong Tech School. They not only contributed to developing our initial programs, they also drove the understanding of their industries, their direction, and needs for the future. An enormously valuable contribution as we work with teachers and students to link learning beyond the school environment.
