Career Change Program for trainee teachers – Victoria University

In December 2008 the CEO Basil Varghese delivered a component of the Career Change Program at Victoria University. The program focus is on assisting the development of a heightened awareness of social justice and inclusion.

Future programs will be delivered by NEEF Australia.

Tournament of Minds

In 2008 NEEF Australia entered a partnership with Tournament of Minds to assist financially a disadvantaged school with sponsorship to give the school the opportunity to participate in the annual problem solving program in Victoria. The first school to receive NEEF Australia sponsorship is St Anthony's Coptic Orthodox College in Frankston North, Victoria. Here are some responses from students who competed in the Tournament of Minds 2008:

• Thank you for your wonderful opportunity. (Joshua Hanna)
• The Tournament of Minds was a mind-blowing experience – without your help it would have not been possible. Thank you. (Jess Awad)
• Thank you for funding our school and giving us this wonderful opportunity. We really enjoyed it. (Youstina Nan)
