Narrandera High School student Noah Tait was advised by NSW Training Services that he was named a finalist for the category of School-Based Apprentice/Trainee of the Year Award for the Riverina Region for 2026.

Noah's dedication, hard work and commitment to his SBAT at Narrandera Public School has been recognised through his nomination for this award.

A huge thank you for all the amazing mentoring, support and guidance to his supervising classroom teachers, Ms Tahlee Hyde and Mrs Mel Beer as well as Mr Brent Fennessy and Mrs Neena Evans of Narrandera Public School.

Noah’s passion and commitment to excellence shone through in his formal interview with the committee and he is now a finalist for this award for his SBAT.

Noah will attend the Training Services Riverina VET awards ceremony on Monday 25 May in Wagga Wagga to find out if he is the winner for 2026 and if he progresses to the state awards later in the year.
