Students from 134 high schools heading รรอลสำฦต’s way
More than 5,400 students from 134 high schools will flock to the รรอลสำฦต next week (3-7 February) for the annual Discovery Days -- the University's largest undergraduate recruitment event.
The aim of Discovery Days is to provide an opportunity for Year 12 students to experience, first-hand, what university life is like for a day.
The day gives them an insight into student life including services and facilities on campus, subject selection as well as the experience of attending classes in their areas of interest.
This year, the University is expecting students from high schools in the Illawarra, Southern Sydney, South Western Sydney, South Coast, Goulburn, Southern Highlands, ACT and many regional schools from as far as Victoria over the five day period.
All รรอลสำฦต faculties and units have been heavily involved in the planning of presentations for this event.
Over the week, students register at the University Hall and will then be dispersed across the campus in various lecture theatres and seminar rooms.
Lunch for students is scheduled between midday and 1pm each day. DJs will be playing in the UniBar to entertain the students.
