Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst will host a special graduation on Thursday 26 March when approximately 60 primary school students don mortar boards as part of a Check It Out day. Year 6 students from Bathurst South Public and Tottenham and Yeoval Central Schools will spend the day on campus participating in a selection of workshops to give them a fun and interactive first-hand experience of university life. Students participate in hands-on faculty-based activities then explore the library and tour the campus and facilities. They will have lunch in the student dining room, then end the day with a mock graduation featuring a special presentation by a Future Moves leader or CSU academic. Check It Out days are part of CSU's Future Moves program which was developed to introduce young people to the world of university study and encourage aspiration for higher education among students in rural and remote NSW and Victoria and. Students are encouraged through a positive experience to become more engaged in school studies and more confident in considering tertiary study as a realistic option. Future Moves is a federally funded initiative, run through Charles Sturt University and aligned with the Australian Blueprint for Career Development.
