Students encouraged to Check It Out in Orange
17 FEBRUARY 2015
Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange will host a unique graduation ceremony on Thursday 18 February when approximately 80 primary school students attend Check It Out day. Year 6 students from Bowen and Glenroi Heights Public Schools will spend the day on campus participating in a selection of workshops to give them first-hand experience of university life. "This fun and interactive day, aims to provide students with a university experience," School Outreach Officer Ms Ruth Stone said. "Students participate in two hands-on Faculty-based activities, before exploring the library and ending the day in a mock graduation including a special presentation by a Future Moves leader or CSU Academic." Students will also enjoy a tour of the campus and its facilities and a lunch in the student dining room. "By introducing young people to the world of university study early on, we hope they are encouraged through a positive experience to become more engaged in school studies and more confident in considering tertiary study as a realistic option," Ms Stone said.
