Celebrating our 2024 Good Sammy graduates!

In late November a talented group of Good Sammy staff donned caps, gowns and bright yellow sashes. Standing proud, one by one they were acknowledged for their growth and accomplishments throughout the year.

The 2024 Good Sammy Graduation was held at Bendat Basketball Centre, attended by graduating staff and their families who cheered them on with pride and joy. An amazing 67 staff graduated with over 100 certificates between them. What an incredible achievement!

Chief Executive Officer Kane Blackman was on hand to personally congratulate each graduate along with representatives from Beyond Bank Michelle Coelho and Rebekah Worthington.

Good Sammy’s 2024 training programs were delivered with the generous support of funders including Beyond Bank, Channel 7 Telethon Trust and the Road Safety Commission.
