Staff at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst expect to enrol approximately 1 000 new students when Orientation Week begins on Monday 22 February. Students will be formally welcomed to the University by Mr Col Sharp, Head of Campus at CSU in Bathurst, at the Commencement Ceremony on Monday. Mr Sharp said, “The University welcomes its new students to the campus and to the city of Bathurst at this defining point in their lives. For them, this is a time of great change – the transition to higher education, perhaps the first time away from family and established friends, a change in climate, a change of lifestyle, different and unfamiliar surroundings. I urge and challenge each of them to make the most of the opportunity, to strive for academic excellence, for personal and professional growth and for happiness and fulfilment.” A team of 50 current returning students, who will wear distinctive yellow T-shirts throughout the week, will lead new students through the orientation process and activities:   Monday 22 – new students arrive, receive welcoming instructions, Student ID cards, room keys and check into their accommodation; 2pm Commencement Ceremony at CD Blake Auditorium; socialise at the Rafters Bar on campus to DJ Aston Shuffle that night.   Tuesday 23 – Schools Day, new students are orientated to the location of their particular School, its related facilities and staff.   Wednesday 24 – a campus-wide scavenger hunt, and the ‘Fresher Cup’, a sports and fun day to familiarise new students with each other and the sport and recreation amenities available on campus.   Thursday 25 – Market Day on the CSU library lawn, followed by socialising to the band Jelly Bean Jam at the Rafters Bar on campus that night.   Friday 26 – Recovery Day; no formal sessions after a week of fun-filled orientation.
