Regional universities go direct to local students

1 JANUARY 2003

Year 12 is a time when most students decide on their path for the future. Everyone wants to be successful and to make the best choices, but accessing the right information at the right time is not always easy. That’s where Charles Sturt University (CSU) , Southern Cross University and the University of New England can help. These universities recognise the importance of helping students select the right study options. That’s why they go direct to local students via the Regional University Road Show. Now in its eighth year, the Regional University Road Show visits 110 schools, sharing information with around 4500 students. As CSU Prospective Student Adviser Ms Fran Dwyer explains, the Regional University Road Show provides senior high school students with accurate and timely information regarding university education. “By pooling resources, CSU, SCU and UNE are able to provide excellent advice to students in one visit, maximising the study options presented to students while minimising the amount of time students need to be away from the classroom.” Denison College-Kelso High Campus Careers Adviser Denis Behan says the Regional University Road Show is a wonderful opportunity for his students to explore the wide range of courses on offer at regional universities as well as familiarising themselves with entry requirements, selection procedures, scholarships and accommodation options. “Having three regional universities visit at the same time allows my students to seriously consider future university study and to start examining their study options. Having direct access to experienced advisors is a big plus too. Also having the universities visit us is very convenient for my students.” Next week, the Regional University Road Show will be in Bathurst, visiting Dennison College Kelso Campus, McKillop College and St Stanislaus. Students from Dennison College Bathurst Campus, Scots College, Cowra, Blayney, Oberon and Portland High Schools will be travelling to Bathurst host schools to take part in the presentations. In a world of endless possibilities, it’s difficult to determine the best course of action for your future. The Regional University Road Show will help you find a study option to suit you.
