How to prepare for university in 2022: Year 12 and parents info session
Federation University is hosting an informative, interactive information session for Year 12 students and their parents on October 12.
This session is designed to educate prospective students and their families on how Federation University can support them as they transition to university. We will be speaking with current students and their parents about challenges facing students and how families can work together to make a successful transition from high school to university.
We know there are thousands of families in our regions that will find this session empowering and encouraging and we want to connect with them during this important time. After the event, we will also be providing all participants with resources and information that they can use in their journey to university, as well as giving families the opportunity to meet with one of our team for a personalised consultation.
If you are a parent of high school aged children, we would encourage you to attend yourself also.
If you have any questions about this event, or would like to suggest a topic to be discussed on the night, please contact futurestudents@federation.edu.au
