They would even take stuff home to figure out for you. The class became one big crazy family. We were a random mix of age and backgrounds and were all on a GrADUATE journey together.” “I wanted to create my own label. Now I have a retail shop with my own designs on the rack, and there’s no way I could have done it without this course.” TrEvor ClArk, Certificate in Forestry “There’s so much to learn. We watch how logging crews operate, how to fell trees, how to watch for hazards, and how to work in the bush as a team.” Trevor is keen to extend his horizons. “After this course I want to get my feller’s ticket which is recognized throughout the STUDENT commonwealth countries. To others out there – a job in forestry is a job for the future.” AriANA TE Aho, Certificate in Hairdressing “I’m going for it. There’s a great team of students here, a great learning environment, and super-positive tutors. The tutors are calm and don’t stress out, and they’re especially supportive if students have young kids they need to work around.” STUDENT Ariana is clear that hairdressing is the solid ticket she wants. 2012 ANNUAL REVIEW SUMMAry oF FiNANCiAl iNForMATioN 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 $'000 $'000 $’000 $’000 $’000 Total Revenue 37,086 36,001 39,757 38,937 33,804 Operating Result 1,290 1,080 1,771 1,909 (1,131) Total Staff Cost 21,733 20,209 21,212 20,850 20,328 Salaries and Wages per EFTS 6.1 6.3 6.3 5.9 5.8 Working Capital 6,981 5,870 5,856 2,781 311 Capital Expenditure (net of sale proceeds) 2,769 3,375 1,911 5,675 2,519 Total Non-current Assets 39,176 38,977 38,010 36,568 32,881 Total Equity 46,138 44,848 43,768 39,098 33,070 Total Costs per EFTS 10.0 10.8 11.3 10.4 10.0 Capital expenditure includes Leased Asset expenditure.

This was achieved with some considerable effort by management and staff. To meet the financial targets it was necessary to exercise strict control of expenditure in the services area to compensate for less than expected returns from a changed product mix of courses. NorthTec's goal in terms of educational better value for its investment in the to this challenge and successfully performance is to be in the top quartile tertiary sector.
