Boosting Victorian educators
The Victorian Teachers' Games is a major annual event that provides a chance for teachers from across Victoria to come together, take a break and celebrate their achievements in a fun but challenging environment.
Mayor of Latrobe City Council, Councillor Kellie O'Callaghan, said the two-year hosting agreement will have enormous economic benefits and boost tourism to the region. "We welcomed the opportunity to host the Victorian Teachers Games in Latrobe City as it has given us the opportunity to attract new visitors and showcase what our Gippsland region has to offer. It also provides great support for our accommodation and hospitality businesses."
"It was fantastic to see many of our valued local education staff play sport, connect with other Victorian teachers and build team morale. We are looking forward to welcoming the games and participants back again next year and continuing our reputation as a destination for major events," said the Mayor. The program incorporated a range of high to low intensity events, and included sporting, recreational, wellness and social activities.
