Photo 2 - What does the building look like inside?

Coming in the front door of the building, you can go straight ahead and upstairs to where  Aged Care and Assistant in Nursing and Plumbing courses are taught ( yes! A funny combination.... ) or turn to the left and up these stairs you will come across the  Children's Services Classroom and the one other classroom on this level, which is traditionally used by Community Services teachers for their courses.

 The teaching staff all have shared offices. My office is the first on the right shared by 2 other colleagues and the offices continue down the right hand side of the corridor. All buildings in this Campus have a block name - From A block to S Block. Our building is known as "F Block" .

 The Tamworth campus is the largest Campus in the NEW ENGLAND INSTITUTE with over 110 courses from short courses to statements of attainment to Diploma level offered and over 200 staff in either a full time or part time teaching capacity or administration roles.
