Year 12 University Camp

Year 12 students, Mr McIntyre, Mrs Gallacher and Mary-Ann Linehan travelled to Melbourne on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th July to visit various universities giving students a feel for university environments. It was a very busy two days visiting six universities.

Day one: Victoria University-Footscray campus, RMIT in the city campus and Swinburne University-Hawthorn campus

Day two: Monash University- Clayton campus, Deakin University- Burwood campus and LaTrobe University Bundoora campus.

Students were given tours of campus facilities and accommodation along with important information about applying for courses and costs associated with living in Melbourne.

Each university discussed scholarships and Special Entry Access Schemes. It was lovely running into many former students at each university.
