Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga will host 25 Kooringal High School students on Thursday 14 August as they explore ideas for their future and get a taste of university life. The Future Directions event is part of CSU's Future Moves program, which was developed to encourage aspiration for higher education among students in rural and remote NSW.  The Year 9 students will take part in a range of activities as an introduction to higher education; exploring their interests and strengths and how these could link to future study and career opportunities. Wagga Future Moves program coordinator, Ms Ravnita Sharma said, "By introducing young people to the world of university study we hope to encourage them to become more engaged in school studies and more confident in considering tertiary study as a realistic option." As part of the day, current CSU students who volunteer as Future Moves Leaders will share a first-hand perspective on the transition from school to university. Future Moves is a federally funded initiative, run through CSU and aligned with the Australian Blue Print for Career Development.
