Student energised by international travels
11 AUGUST 2009
Primary teacher student Ms Emma Wagner returned from the United Kingdom to Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Bathurst in July to complete her studies after her fortnight long fully paid overseas trip. Ms Wagner from Sydney was one of 20 Australian and New Zealand students to win a place in the inaugural myOE University Tour, organised by the company My Overseas Experience. “There was a great mix of planned and unplanned moments as we travelled in a Kombi from London to Newcastle, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bath, Brighton and many other destinations in between,” said Ms Wagner. “We toured old buildings, castles, art galleries, museums, churches and other sights all on foot and sometimes even on bikes. Summing up my trip as ‘amazing’ doesn’t even come close to describing how wonderful the trip was. As a soon-to-be teacher, travelling gives you knowledge and skills that you can’t just read about and learn from a text book. I would recommend starting these travel experiences now to all students.” Ms Wagner also travelled to South Korea in 2008 through CSU Global.
