Girls with Hi-Vis Event 

Our students attended the Girls with Hi-Vis event that was held at John Fillmore Contracting in Mangere Bridge. Their Transport Yard is the home of JFC’s large trucks, mobile plant, and small tools. All lead by the JFC Transport General Manager and her team that manage the distribution and allocation of all Truck Drivers, all vehicles and all equipment across the various JFC sites.

The students heard the journeys of their wāhine leaders, who project manage, engineer, construct and oversee the many projects that are currently underway. Giving insight into their roles, pathways and how they contribute to the success of our sites.

The students then got to get out and experience working life, learning how to operate a small dump truck and digger. Then competing in a challenge to pave a small area which our Wesley Students took out first place!
