 MyDay at CSU Dubbo for regional schools 23, 24 June High school students from Dubbo and surrounding towns will experience university life when they attend the two-day MyDay event at Charles Sturt University (CSU) at Dubbo on 23 and 24 June. CSU Prospective Student Adviser, Ms Katy O’Brien, said, "MyDay is designed to give students a taste of university life so they know they can gain first-rate qualifications and start a career without having to leave the region. This is an important consideration in the present economic climate. MyDay will involve approximately 81 Years 10, 11 and 12 students over the two days, with students from outlying schools attending on Tuesday 23 June, and Dubbo students attending on Wednesday 24 June." The participating schools include Dubbo Christian School, Dubbo College Senior Campus, Wellington High School, Gulgong High School, Molong Central School, Coolah Central School, Trundle Central School, Forbes High School, Mudgee High School, Coonamble High School, and Parkes High School. Media Officer : Bruce Andrews bandrews@csu.edu.au Telephone : 02 63386084 Media Note: Contact CSU Media to arrange interviews with Ms Katy O’Brien. The funding for MyDay Dubbo came from the CSU Outreach from University to Rural High Schools (OURSchools) equity program to allow students to travel from outlying areas. OURSchools aims to increase the access into higher education of students from disadvantaged rural areas by improving their access to resources from CSU that will enhance the curriculum in rural high schools, promote a partnership between rural schools and CSU, and/or promote university study as a viable option for rural high school students.
