Student project boosts Bathurst youth life skills

1 JANUARY 2003

A community development project lead by Charles Sturt University (CSU) students aims to improve the life skills of selected senior high school students in Bathurst so they have better opportunities to succeed in life. In an initiative of the Faculty of Business, CSU undergraduate students working with the Enactus program will assist selected Year-10, 11 and 12 Kelso High School students in the ‘Fulfilling Individuals’ Talent’ (FIT) project. Associate Professor PK Basu at the CSU School of Accounting and Finance, said, “FIT targets about 10 underprivileged students who are struggling but are engaged and have potential. The program will complement the school curriculum by allowing students to focus on the key areas of education, employability and life skills. Activities will be targeted to meet the needs of the group, but may involve guest speakers from the community, goal setting, and resumé preparation.” The first session of the project began on Friday 19 July and will continue for the rest of this year with the group meeting fortnightly for sessions of about 60-minutes at the Kelso High Campus of Denison College.
