Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange will host a special graduation on Thursday 28 August when approximately 120 primary school students don mortar boards as part of a Check It Out Day.Program coordinator Mr Ben Morris said, "Year 6 students from schools in Wellington, Trangie, Parkes, Dubbo and Peak Hill will spend the day participating in fun and interactive faculty-based workshops and activities to give them first-hand experience of university life. Students will have a tour of the campus and its facilities, explore the library, have lunch in the student dining room, and end the day with a mock graduation including a special presentation by a Future Moves leader or CSU academic." Check It Out Days are part of CSU's Future Moves program, a federally funded initiative run through Charles Sturt University and aligned with the Australian Blueprint for Career Development. They aim to encourage aspiration for higher education among students in rural and remote NSW and Victoria by introducing young people to the world of university study. These 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.
