Forty eight Year 9 students from Blayney High School will participate in day-long Future Directions Workshops at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Tuesday 10th March. This day aims to provide students with a memorable, exciting and interactive first-hand experience of university life while they explore ideas for their futures. Mr Ben Morris, Future Directions program coordinator for CSU in Bathurst, said, "The students will participate in two hands-on 80 minute Faculty-based activities, tour the campus and residences, explore the university library, and will have lunch in the student dining room. The hands-on workshops will be delivered by CSU lecturers for courses including paramedics, nursing, theatre/media, personal development-health-physical education (PDHPE), and human movement studies. The students then finish the day with a question and answer session led by the student leader team who understand the transition from school to university. Events like this Future Directions day are a great way to start a conversation with students about the idea of future aspirations for further education. After their workshop experiences students are often heard to say, 'I never considered university but now I really want to go'." Future Moves is a federally funded initiative, run through Charles Sturt University and aligned with the Australian Blueprint for Career Development.
