Throughout the year M&PA staff have been helping many school students to decide what they might like to do with their future. School visits are always a popular option and one of the  best ways to promote UNE is to bring people to see the campus!

During November, three groups of 50 PLC Sydney year 9 students will be touring the university. They are in Armidale, staying at PLC Armidale, to have a ‘country experience’. The girls will see the library, TuneFM, student support services and will learn the history of Boolominbah. They will also attend some guest lectures concerning the New England region. It is all about giving them an experience of what university life can be like. These PLC Sydney visits have now been running for many years and the girls enjoy seeing the beautiful UNE campus.

Also in November, groups of parents and students from Quirindi High School and Merriwa Central School will be visiting UNE. UNE will again be providing a UNE Experience with Peter Lye on board to do exciting scientific experiments, and Student Ambassadors doing university, college and SportUne tours. We aim to make all touring students feel welcome and are confident that the New England campus will sell itself.

If staff would like more information on campus tours or have requests for them, please email campustours@une.edu.au.
