Representatives from the University of Queensland recently visited our school to speak to students about university life and their InspireU Program.
The InspireU Program is designed to engage and inspire young Indigenous high school students to further their studies at university and broaden their career possibilities. Students participate in on-campus residential camps, where they explore potential careers & study options.
The upcoming spring camp is for Year 10-12 students and goes for a week (24th-29th of September).

Cost
There are no costs for students.
All reasonable costs for the camp, including all travel, flights, accommodation, meals and excursions are paid for by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit (ATSISU).
