We are beyond thrilled to announce that Sophie has officially completed her Cert 3 in Tourism Studies at South West Metro TAFE!

This marks the culmination of a remarkable journey in TAFE, where she’s worked tirelessly over the past couple of years to earn multiple qualifications along the way. The completion of this final certificate is a testament to Sophie’s dedication, passion, and hard work. At just 17 years old, she is already paving her way to success, proving that there is no one-size-fits-all path to education.

Not every learner thrives in traditional schooling, and Sophie’s story is an inspiring example of how alternative pathways can provide the space for young people to discover their strengths and achieve greatness. As proud parents and business owners, we are incredibly excited to watch Sophie take on a more permanent role within our family business. With this milestone now behind her, she will be stepping into more responsibility, becoming a head guide for our outdoor adventures on the trails and waterways.

But that's not all! Sophie is also set to take on her next challenge—becoming an eco-certified guide through the prestigious Savannah Guides program, part of Ecotourism Australia’s renowned accreditation. Her dedication to her studies and passion for the outdoors have truly inspired us all, and we couldn't be prouder of her achievements.

This is just the beginning, and we can't wait to see Sophie continue to grow, lead, and shine as she embarks on this next exciting chapter in her journey with Down Under Discoveries. Sophie, your determination is inspiring to us every single day. We are excited for what lies ahead!
