2024 Airshows Downunder Careers Day Excursion

2024 Airshows Downunder Careers Day

On Friday 1 March 2024, a group of WHSPA students attended the action packed Airshows Downunder Careers Day Excursion @ Albion Park Airport. Students were educated and motivated with insights into the region's aviation, aerospace and defence industries. We had access to industry professionals who have inspirational careers as a pilot, engineer or UAV operator and highlight career options in air traffic control, the Australian Defence Force, industry innovation, technology development and much more.

Year 11 student Samson (aka "Maverick") was very fortunate to meet Red Bull air race pilots Matt Hall & Emma MacDonald. He also met Jason who flies the P51 Mustang, which is a Fighter Plane from WWII and Bunga who flew the F35 Fighter Jet during the air show.

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
