Kokoda Trail
During the June school holidays Cooper and I travelled with 30 other students from all over Victoria to hike the Kokoda Trail. It was the most amazing experience of my life. It was both physically and mentally challenging, but it was all worth it. My favourite part of the journey was meeting all different people especially the locals in the villages. Each village was unique and had different customs. Many sang us songs, and we experienced different foods and sports. From this experience I made friendships that will last me a lifetime including friendships I had to leave in Papua New Guinea. The views were amazing, each night we swam in the rivers and rockpools together. I would highly recommended students to apply for the Arthur Grassby Scholarship, this is the most amazing experience not only for the physical challenge but also to make new lasting friendships.

University Open Days
A university open day isn’t just a tour — it’s your chance to imagine the life you want to build. Meet the people who’ll challenge you, support you, and help you grow. Explore the spaces where ideas turn into careers. Ask questions, test the vibe, and see what feels right. Open days are your backstage pass to uni life. Wander through labs, studios, and lecture halls. Try hands‑on activities, grab some freebies, meet new people and feel the energy. It’s fun, it’s useful, and it might just spark the idea that shapes your future.
