Year 10 Tertiary Visits.

As a part of the pathway planning process our Yr 10 cohort this week visited tertiary institutions, with a focus of this visit on Universities. Students had the choice between visiting Melbourne Uni and RMIT or La Trobe’s Bundoora Campus. Students completed campus tours and activites at each of the locations. Hopefully the students gained an insight what Universities can offer them in the future.
