USC sets the pace for University Showcase 2006
24 March, 2006
Five days, 3600 students and 22 schools from Noosa to Morayfield
and everywhere in between - that is the 2006 University
Showcase.
The University of the Sunshine Coast has organised the showcase
to present high school students with every option for future study
and career development.
USC has invited eight other universities, TAFEs and the Defence
Force to ensure the region's students are well informed showcase
coordinator Kylie McKenzie said.
"It is important that the students have access to all the
tertiary study options available to them, so they can make informed
decisions about their future," Ms McKenzie.
The travelling showcase, visiting schools from March 27 to 31
provides students with a range of information about admissions,
tertiary study costs, accommodation options and university life in
general.
"And students can speak directly to exhibitors to find out more
about specific degrees.
"Trying to compare options is difficult and students and their
parents face some very important decisions in coming months and no
doubt have lots of questions.
"Bringing all the exhibitors to the region will create a
one-stop-shop for students interested in tertiary study. They can
see it all in one place in one day," Ms McKenzie said.
The University Showcase will travel from Noosa in the north to
Morayfield in the south and inland to Kilcoy and Woodford.
