Year 12 visited the beautiful UOW campus in Wollongong on the first day of Camps week and enjoyed being treated as university students. They were given a timetable of lectures and a map and had to find their own way for a day!
The reception and advice of UOW staff was warm and friendly and the lectures attended proved interesting and motivated all to think more deeply about important issues and ways of thinking.
Interesting campus tours opened up the many superb facilities available to all students who choose this university. Sport, accommodation, student shopping, drama, the technically advanced library and well equipped lecture theatres were all most impressive.
The behaviour and presentation of our students were excellent and it was exciting to listen to some of the many different avenues of study that were being contemplated.
A new element was introduced to the Careers Advisors present on this day. Much of the university training is now being linked to the UN Developmental Goals for growth. Poorly resourced areas are now highlighted as an inspiration to students to choose study and research paths that will help address world problems. So the big question these days is not what do you want to do when you grow up but what developmental areas do you wish to work on to make a difference to impoverished areas? This links in very neatly with our College goals of service that spring from our Christian foundations.
This was a very good start to the Careers inputs to the College in 2019.
