Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga is giving local primary and high school students a taste of university life at two events in coming weeks. Year 6 students from Wodonga West Primary School and Lavington East Public School will experience the pomp and ceremony of a mock graduation on Thursday 27 August. Then on Thursday 3 September, Year 9 students from Finley, Murray and James Fallon High Schools will spend the day in experiential workshops in the laboratory. Program coordinator, Ms Ilena Young said, "Research shows us that students make up their minds very early about what their future will hold. These events are designed to enthuse students and encourage aspiration for higher education." Students will take part in fun and interactive workshops at the CSU Schools of Community Health, Environmental Sciences and Education, tour the campus and spend time with undergraduate students who can give them an insight into university life. The events are run as part of the Future Moves program, a federally funded initiative, run through CSU and aligned with the Australian Blueprint for Career Development.
