Taking skills to the next level

From changing a tyre to cooking a nutritious meal, a group of South East young people received a crash course into some of life’s most useful skills.

Youth group Casey-Cardinia Rotaract hosted its Level Up Expo (LUX) event on Saturday 10 June at the Balla Balla Community Centre in Clyde North.

President Liam Hines said about 25 young people attended the event.

“Everyone absolutely loved it,” he said.

“As a community group, it focused on training and development.”

Other skills and presenters on show included creature visitors from Wildlife Sidekicks, the Victorian Electoral Commission, finance and budgeting and tertiary education.

Star News photographer Rob Carew attended the event to capture all of the action and scaly and feathery visitors.
