INCURSIONS & EXCURSIONS

CURTIN UNIREADY - CAMPUS TOUR

As part of our Curtin UniReady Enabling Program, students visited Curtin University’s Bentley campus this term. This was a valuable opportunity for students to familiarise themselves with the university and its facilities. The day included tours of the campus and library, question/answer and information sessions, as well as interactive activitieswithagroupofcurrentuniversitystudents.

A highlight from the day was the race around the campus. During this activity, UniReady students familiarised themselves with the grounds by finding mystery locations to answer quiz questions and take creativephotosoftheirteam.

All students also participated in two Faculty activities of their choice. These included: Business and Law; Science and Engineering; Humanities; and, Health Sciences. These activities encouraged studentstoexplorethelearningandcareerpathwaysavailable.

The Curtin UniReady Enabling Program is available to Year 12 students only and more information about the Program is available in our CourseSelectionHandbook.

Q-MMUNITY HEADSPACE INCURSION

In partnership with Headspace, Q-mmunity members engaged in a workshop to design a peer support group in the City of Canning. Our students had an abundance of amazing ideas to share, and their voices will be reflected in the creation of an inclusive and safe peer support group. We are excited to see the fruition of these ideas later this year, and to continue working alongside Headspace to support our diversestudentbody.
