Their difference and interesting life-paths proved to embody the CAW message as Minister Mary Mitchell O’Connor encouraged a “campaign so full of personality” as she endorsed the CAW mission in allowing student to choose the correct life-path from them no matter what the sector. It was a brilliant day for everyone involved.
