Students visit Sydney university
A group of 54 Year 8 and 9 Brisbane Water Secondary College students spent Wednesday, May 25, at a Sydney University Experience Day.
Students viewed a presentation by five university students and were taken to the Faculty of Architecture where students could see the study spaces and building models.
"It was interesting to learn that university is not only all about study, that there is also a big social and sporting aspect," said Umina campus careers advisor Ms Yvette Beemster.
"Many of our students were interested in joining the chocolate appreciation society.
"Every sporting group and society you can think of has a club at the university.
"At the end of the day, the students were encouraged by Ms Gilchrist to leave their mark in the Graffiti Tunnel.
"Then, surrounded by uni students, we all enjoyed lunch in the Manning building," she said.
