Access Monash Activity: Year 11 Uniopoly

On Thursday July 18th during their Homeroom period, all the Year 11 students participated in the Access Monash run Uniopoly. After a few technical hiccups, the students took part in teams of about 6 in an interactive game related to university. The teams took turns rolling a large colourful dice, each colour representing a different set of questions about university life. The question categories included: surviving VCE, SEAS, transitioning and applying to University, costs involved with post-school study and other random questions. The Access Monash Mentors also spoke of their own experiences. Hopefully, this provided the Year 11 students with some insight into the university path that might lie ahead for them.
