Ex-student Elena Turunen returns to Marian Catholic College to talk about opportunities for young women
Moving six hours away from your hometown straight after Year 12 isn’t normally a decision made lightly. But that is exactly what Griffith local Elena Turunen decided to do after completing her HSC at Marian Catholic College in 2016. Three years down the track, Elena is well and truly into her second year as an Education/Arts student at The University of Sydney and lives on-campus at Sancta Sophia College.
For most regional students, the prospect of living at a university college is something that tends to be a mystery, or seemingly too far out of reach. This month, Elena is returning to Griffith to give students from her hometown the scoop on college life in Sydney.
“Living and studying in Sydney is absolutely an option for regional students. I want to share my story with them to show that it is possible, and there are places like Sancta there to support students with their study and living arrangements”, says Elena, who is one of over 20 current Sancta residents who grew up in the Riverina.
Sancta Sophia College is a residential college on-campus at The University of Sydney. For Elena, and the 200 other female undergraduate students she lives with, Sancta is a complete home away from home. The College provides residents studying at the major Sydney universities with all of their meals, tutoring, pastoral support and access to the social, sporting and cultural life of the Sydney University College community.
Sancta Principal Fiona Hastings, key staff and two current residents (including Elena) are visiting the Riverina and Canberra as part of an annual Regional Roadshow to celebrate their tradition of empowering regional women through education and leadership opportunities - which Elena herself is well versed to speak about. She is currently the Social Justice and Sponsorship Secretary of the student-led House Committee, having been elected by her fellow Sancta residents.
All senior students are invited to hear from Elena and the Sancta team when they visit Marian Catholic College on Wednesday 21 August during lunch break.
