Craig Brittle commenced his journey with Box Hill Institute 2000. Working across automotive, trades and engineering for a decade, and driving our education delivery with a focus on students. He was there for the students, helping build not just their skills and progress but them as a whole student. Anyone who watched him work with students quickly realised the genuine rapport he was able to build, always with the aim of supporting them to rise above their challenges.
This special quality always shone brightly. Not just to students but also to us, his colleagues, and to our industry partners.
All up, he spent 22 years contributing to the lives of our vocational students and employees. He was renowned as a strong leader, unfailing in his care, support and kindness for all. He had undeniable passion for automotive and building strong partnerships, he dedicated himself to creating value and practical skills for vocational students.
With his passing, we’ve lost a very special man that truly cared for the people around him. He touched everyone who knew him and leaves a legacy of leadership and friendship. He will be missed by all of us.
