As kids across the country return to the classroom, 51 year-old Fiona Papadatos is proving that it’s never too late to learn by going back to school to pursue a career that better suits her family and lifestyle.

TAFE NSW student and Quirindi resident, Meagan Holden, is taking full advantage of new opportunities in the education support industry. After experiencing learning difficulties as a child she wanted to help give other children the best start in life. She chose to study a Certificate III in Education Support at the TAFE NSW Connected Learning Centre in Quirindi and is now working casually as an education aide at Blandford Public School.
