Short Courses for Credit Program

March 28, 2018

ECU’s School of Arts and Humanities invites you to join our Short Courses for Credit Program. These FREE courses are designed to introduce high school students to university life, offer an engaging, hands-on experience in a discipline of their choice and give them a head start at university. Our short courses are aimed at motivated year 11 and 12 students who have an existing interest and passion for the Arts and/or Media. These week-long specialist courses cover areas of study offered at ECU, promoting aspirations for tertiary education. Students gain a deeper understanding of the way university works, helping them to overcome any anxiety they might have about higher education.

Students develop self-confidence and public speaking skills, team work and group collaboration techniques and produce high quality written and digital works. They expand on skills that support their school work and come to discover that university is an option they might not have considered before. Importantly, students who pass the requirements of these courses will receive Advanced Standing (credit transfer) for a first/second year unit, once gaining successful admission to an applicable ECU undergraduate course. This means students will save time and money before even commencing their university studies.

The School of Arts and Humanities offers the following Short Courses for Credit:

Young Leaders

March 24, 2018

Kicking off a new initiative student leaders from the ELC, Primary and Secondary schools came together for the inaugural Student Leadership Forum yesterday. Whether they are in their early years at St Stephen’s or beginning their graduating year, students were able to share and discuss their opinions and hear personal insights on what it means to be a leader. The Forum wouldn’t be complete without a delicious lunch of course, which was cooked and served by the Year 11 Hospitality students.

This afternoon the Y11 ATAR Biology class investigated all the systems by rat dissection! Students could fully investigate all systems by identifying all the parts and discussing their functions. They even made a time lapse to show the full procedure! Pretty cool!
