This week, a group of Year 10 students ventured to Flinders University for their yearly Enrichment Program. The Enrichment Program provided a valuable opportunity for students to experience lectures and practical activities in discipline specific sessions aimed at encouraging and informing their planning for future studies. By focussing on learning areas that interest them and by mixing with students from other schools with the same interests, students also experienced a real taste of university life.

Students selected from their preferred study area and then rotated through a timetable of three sessions within that area.

• Stream 1: College of Business, Government and Law (Law, Politics and International Relations, Criminology, Business and Accounting)
• Stream 2: College of Education, Psychology and Social Work (Social Work, Psychology, Education, Sport Health & Physical Activity)
• Stream 3: College of Humanities and Social Sciences (Media and Communication, Creative Industries, Tourism & Events, Arts)
• Stream 4: College of Medicine and Public Health (Medical Science & Laboratory Medicine, Public Health, Paramedicine)
• Stream 5: College of Nursing and Health Sciences (Health Sciences, Nursing, Disability & Community, Optometry)
• Stream 6: College of Science and Engineering (Engineering, Computer Science, Forensic & Analytical Science, Cybersecurity)
• Stream 7: VET

Our students had an enjoyable day, all thankful for the opportunity to get a taste of life at university.

My experience at Flinders Uni was very enjoyable. Each session provided a strong understanding of what life would be like at Uni, with well-timed presentations providing students different activities that explored what we’d be learning about in our respective fields. – Mara C

I thought that it was quite an informational experience that allowed students to get an understanding of what a university life is all about. We were able to experience both lecture and tutorial style sessions which build on the model of university studies. The trip to Flinders University was very enjoyable. – Finn T
