Two one-day events to encourage aspirations for higher education among students in rural and remote NSW and Victoria will be hosted by Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga on Wednesday 25 June and Thursday 26 June. About 60 Year 8 and 9 students from Finley High School, Billabong High School and James Fallon High School in NSW, and Wodonga Middle Years College in Victoria will participate in workshops that will give them first-hand experience of university life. The two 'Future Directions' days are part of CSU's Future Moves program. "We want to encourage young people to become more engaged in school by introducing them to the world of university and making them more confident to consider tertiary study as a realistic option", said Future Moves Program Coordinator, Ms Ilena Young. The students will receive guided campus tours by CSU students and participate in fun activities with CSU staff from community health, environmental sciences, education and library services. The events will commence each day at 9.30 am and run to 2.30pm.
