- On-Campus Visits – Term 4 is an excellent time to bring Year 10 & 11 students on campus to explore campus, courses and careers. Take a tour of campus, hear from current students and experience disciplines of interest in an engaging experience for students. To secure your preferred date in Term 4, email engage@murdoch.edu.au.
- Year 10 & 11 Presentations – The Future Students Team can come to your school to talk to students in Year 10 & Year 11 about studying at university, with tips on how to pick the right course for you, how to decipher university language and alternative pathways to university entry. To make a booking, email engage@murdoch.edu.au with your preferred date.
- Career Tasters – conducted at your school, or on campus, the career tasters are ideal for Year 9’s who are beginning to explore future careers and consider their interests and aptitudes. The career tasters utilise our Student Ambassadors, putting your students in touch with current and credible university students who are studying and on a pathway to careers and futures that may be outside of a Year 9 student’s current experience. These sessions are informative, entertaining and a great catalyst for further discussion and exploration. To book, email engage@murdoch.edu.au with your preferred dates.
