CAPE Testimonial - HSC, Further study

Jack McIntosh

A Force to be reckoned with

"With the help of my teachers, who would sometimes stay after hours to help me complete my assessments, I was able to successfully complete the course."
Jack McIntosh

TAFE NSW Port Macquarie student Jack McIntosh, winner of the prestigious Career Pathways, Aboriginal Languages and Employability Skills Student of the Year award at the TAFE NSW Excellence Awards, is certainly someone who knows how to achieve a goal.  

With a desire to join the Australian Defence Force (ADF), Jack was faced with the reality that entry required completion of Year 10 English and Maths. So Jack chose TAFE NSW to study at because of “the adult learning environment, which ended up being the right choice because I was able to do very well.”  

So well, in fact, that in addition to winning the prestigious Excellence Award, Jack was also selected to become an Artillery Operator in the ADF – one of only 50 applicants selected from a pool of 4000 applicants nation-wide.
