Celebrating Success: A Night of Achievement at TUC
Our Celebration of Student Success was a truly special evening, dedicated to honouring the hard work and achievements of our registered TUC students who recently completed their studies. It was incredible to witness so many come together on Thursday, 20 February, to reflect on their journeys and celebrate their success.
This year’s event was made even more meaningful by the presence of:
The Hon. Fiona Nash, Regional Education Commissioner
Mayor Claire Pontin
Deputy Mayor Jeremy Miller
Director of External Engagement, Charles Sturt University Port Macquarie, Kate Wood-Foye
Director, Campuses, University of New England, Sue-Ellen Hogan
Outgoing Chair Dr Alison McIntosh and our new Chair Anthony Paulson
Their presence and insights reinforced the importance of education in regional communities and the vital role that TUC plays in providing opportunities close to home.
Gathering in our TUC building, overlooking the stunning Manning River, we were reminded of the incredible potential within our local community. Every graduate represents not just personal success, but a step forward for our region—a future teacher, nurse, business leader, or innovator staying right here in the MidCoast.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this night so memorable—our guest speakers, university partners, local supporters, and, of course, the TUC team, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to create a warm and welcoming celebration.
🎉 To our graduates—this is just the beginning. Your dedication and resilience have brought you to this milestone, and we can't wait to see where your skills, knowledge, and passion take you next. The future is bright, and it starts right here.
