Students with Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Albury-Wodonga will take a break from the normal mental challenges of study to pit themselves against fellow students from CSU in Wagga Wagga and La Trobe University in Wodonga in some physical competition in the annual Southern Zone Challenge this Thursday 24 March. The students will commence playing mixed netball and mixed touch from 3.30pm at Thurgoona Football Oval and Netball Courts, Tabletop Rd, Thurgoona, followed by presentations, a barbeque and music at ‘The G’ on the University’s Thurgoona campus. Student services adviser, Ms Kerry Read, said the event gives students the opportunity to travel to other universities and campuses and socialise with their peers.
