The expo will run for school groups from 9:30am to 2pm, followed by a general public session from 3pm to 4pm.

The broader program has been designed to combine education with creativity and participation, ensuring there is something for a wide range of interests. More than 230 students from Boat Harbour Primary School, Yolla District School and Wynyard High School are expected to attend the school sessions, giving local young people the opportunity to connect directly with services, support organisations and workshop providers in an engaging and practical setting.
