DATTA WA Member Discussions

Roland was recognised for his outstanding and long-standing service to DATTA WA and the Design and Technologies profession at the PTCWA awards last night.

As a dedicated committee member and life member of the association, Roland was nominated by the Association Executive for his contribution of many years of knowledge, experience and practical support. In recent years, he has capably managed the association’s accounts, providing sound financial oversight and dependable advice. When DATTA WA required additional support in 2026, Roland readily stepped into the Treasurer’s role, ensuring the association’s financial responsibilities continued to be managed effectively.

Roland is knowledgeable, street smart and generous with his time. His practical judgement, willingness to assist and deep understanding of the profession have made him an invaluable member of the committee. He remains genuinely committed to strengthening DATTA WA, supporting its members and advancing Design and Technologies education.

Roland’s loyalty, leadership and sustained contribution…

Hi all, I have been approached by Trent Lee (past colleague at Ocean Reef shs) who is the Science HOLA at Alkimos College. He was hoping I could reach out and see if anyone was willing to help with small group moderation for the ATAR Engineering course next year.

They have been running it for three years but have dropped down to 5 students in Year 12 2027 and will therefore need to undergo SGM.

If anyone would be willing to help, could you please drop him an email: trent.lee@education.wa.edu.au

Thanks a bunch, Mark
