Open Days
Many tertiary institutions are holding their Open Days over the next few weeks. Prospective students can attend the campus, speak to current students and staff and immerse themselves in a myriad of activities (you need to register for the activities). A list of Open Days was published in a previous newsletter however, you can always visit the university and TAFE websites for further information. I have included just a couple in this section however there are many more at hand.
