YEAR 8 LA TROBE UNIVERSITY DISCOVERY DAY

As part of The Lakes’ Transition & Pathways Program, a full-day excursion has been organised to enable Year 8 students to visit the La Trobe University Bundoora Campus. During this visit students will have the opportunity to gain an insight into areas of study, pathways into university courses, explore the university facilities and grounds in small groups with Lakes’ staff and university guides, and have their lunch on the university grounds, brought with them or purchased, before returning to school. This is an excellent opportunity for students to consider possible future endeavours, and subject selection in their senior secondary years.

Permission to be given prior to Monday 18th November 2019.

No late permission can be accepted.
