Students from Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange will visit Canoblas High School on Friday 24 May to help year 11 chemistry students conduct a practical laboratory session. The visit is the first part of a pilot program aimed at encouraging Orange high school students to take up further education, and careers, in chemistry and science. CSU pre-entry program coordinator Ms Tonya Graham said the high school students and their parents would make a return visit to the University on 4 June, where they would participate in another chemistry lesson. “The Canoblas students will also have the opportunity to sit in on more chemistry lectures through the year,” she said. “We want to show them the sorts of university courses that involve chemistry, and the sorts of careers they could go on to have by studying it. We’ve started this concept with Canoblas because it is one of the schools we run our Future Moves program in, but we would like to soon be able to include students from other schools in Orange.”
