High school students visit CSU in Albury-Wodonga

15 JUNE 2015

Operating radio trackers used for wildlife research and learning some of the finer points about feet are just some of the activities planned for Year 9 students when they visit Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga this week. The students from Finley, Billabong, James Fallon and Murray High Schools;  Oaklands Central School; and Wodonga Middle Years College will visit CSU on Wednesday 17 June as part of the Future Moves program.  Program coordinator Ms Ilena Young said the day will introduce students to university life. "The students will take part in hands-on activities, tour the campus and eat lunch in the student canteen," she said. "By giving students a positive experience we hope to encourage them to think of tertiary study as part of their future." Undergraduate students from CSU's School of Community Health and School of Environmental Sciences will also lead some of the activities and share their experience of university life. Future Moves is a federally funded initiative, run through CSU and aligned with the Australian Blueprint for Career Development.
