Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange will host a special graduation on Tuesday 30 October, when about 70 primary school students don the mortar boards as part of Check It Out Day. Year 6 pupils, from Parkes Public and Parkes East Public schools, will spend the day at CSU and will take a selection of specially prepared classes to give them a first-hand experience of university life. A graduation ceremony will be held where students will dress in mortar boards  and gowns and receive a certificate. The Check It Out Day is part of the University’s Future Moves program, designed to build aspirations for tertiary study among students in rural and remote NSW and Victoria. Read more here. The program is aimed at students who have the potential to succeed in tertiary education and who come from families with little or no experience of higher education.
