About 60 Year Six students from Peak Hill Central School and Kandos Public School will participate in workshops at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Tuesday 13 November as part of a Future Moves program, Check It Out Day. The event gives the students first-hand experience of a university. Ms Tonya Graham, Future Moves coordinator, said, “By introducing young people to the experience of university study we hope to encourage them to become more engaged in school studies and more confident to consider tertiary study as a later option. The Future Moves program is directed at students who have the potential to succeed in tertiary education and who come from families with little or no experience of higher education. Students who participate often say, ‘I never considered university, but now I really want to go’. Events like the Check It Out days are a great way to start a conversation with students and their families about the options available to them when they finish school.” The Year Six students will engage in a range of fun interactive workshops delivered by CSU courses staff, including paramedics, nursing, art education, communications, and theatre/media. The day will conclude with students dressing in graduation attire for a mock mini-graduation.
