Camps, excursions and activities. 

Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga

Ten senior students from our region including Kailie Krause and Shanae Rotherham from Donald, recently attended the CSU Explore Day to discover more about Agriculture and Animal Studies courses.

CSU provided informative sessions about their courses and had staff available to help with specific questions about entry requirements and pathway options for students. Students toured the 2000-hectare farm and observed the use of autonomous cropping equipment and the automatic scales in the lamb feedlot.  They also looked at different animal skeletons and tried to guess the name of the animal and whether it was a carnivore, omnivore or herbivore.

The students were also fortunate to have an impromptu Q and A with current students; Josh Diss (East Loddon) and Alyssa Boyd (Boort), who provided them with an insight into the CSU student experience.  Another highlight was CSU student Issy Morrison (East Loddon) providing a tour of her accommodation. 

The students felt that the campus, had a very friendly rural atmosphere, and they could visualise themselves becoming students there.

This experience was supported by NCLLEN.
