From school to CSU for Indigenous students

1 JANUARY 2003

About 20 Indigenous school students will assess their opportunities to undertake university study when they visit Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Albury-Wodonga on Wednesday 9 December. Staff from the Murray School of Education will discuss the opportunities for tertiary studies with students from primary and high schools in Albury as part of a CSU project titled From School to CSU for Indigenous Students: Challenges, Barriers and Initiatives. Visit coordinator Professor Bob Perry said CSU was looking at the challenges and barriers for Indigenous high school students who might aspire to continue their education at CSU. “We then want to use this information to look at joint initiatives by Charles Sturt University and local high schools to increase the numbers of Indigenous students who continue their education. We want to increase the awareness and aspirations of high school students who would not normally consider university study,” Professor Perry said.
