Dropout to teacher to local Ducats currency artist

Shannon Jukes struggled at school and when given the opportunity to try a new alternative education program at GOTAFE he managed to get back into learning by following his passion, Koorie art. During that time he had mentors to guide him and work experience completing indigenous art projects. After that course finished he spent some time working in an abattoir until he was given another opportunity helping with a Koorie Youth program. 
He is now employed at GOTAFE as an Aboriginal Cultural Arts  teacher and his art now features on the unique Ducat Currency that will support local businesses. Click the link for more info.
