University Open Days

Year 12 students who are considering studying at TAFE or University are encouraged to attend Open Days. At the Open Days both students and parents will learn more about courses and careers options, take tours of the campus including accommodation options and find out more about scholarships, pathways and overseas study programs. We encourage students check University websites and register their attendance and any events of interest. Some Universities offer travel grants to assist with the transport costs so be sure to check when registering. Open Days are also a fantastic opportunity for Year 11 students.
