Kingaroy TAFE student Brendon Newman has won a Gold Medal at the 2025 WorldSkills Australia National Championships held in Brisbane last week.<\/p>\n

Brendon, who was competing in the Electrical Control category, represented Queensland after success at the regional South West competition last year.<\/p>\n

The Stanwell apprentice is completing an electrical instrumentation apprenticeship at the Tarong power stations.<\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington said Brendon had made the South Burnett proud.<\/p>\n

She also congratulated two other Kingaroy TAFE students who represented Queensland at the national finals: Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETIS) Primary Industries students Kaitlyn Barber and Peter Anderson.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Primary Industries category tested the students’ knowledge about mixed farming, including cropping and livestock.<\/p>\n

The 2025 National Championships featured more than 600 competitors from across Australia.<\/p>\n

WorldSkills is Australia\u2019s largest vocational education and skills excellence competition.<\/p>\n

The National Championships enable competitors who won regional competitions to showcase their talents and test their skills on a national stage.<\/p>\n

The event was held at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre – and some off-site venues – from Thursday to Saturday, with the medal ceremony on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The 2027 National Championships will be held in Adelaide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
