TESTIMONIALS

“The course was very beneficial to senior students at RMSC as they were able to apply the knowledge they learnt within class by volunteering at a sporting club.  This opportunity has created a pathway into employment and also supports the needs of the community at grass roots through to elite level sport. Students wellbeing has developed as they have grown in confidence in applying knowledge in sporting injuries in sports, they are passionate about. Roma Mitchell College
