On Wednesday 30 October, 14 stage 4 students attended the My Future Matters day at the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre at UOW.

We started the day with a welcome to all the schools before splitting off into small groups to attend different sections of the Uni, getting a taste of a variety of different courses available for them to study in the future.

Students were shown things like biomedical sciences where they got to see how Science is used to overcome injury particularly in athletes, ecology where they were able to make terrariums and learn about the amazing features of moss in Antarctica, journalism where they were invited to discuss social issues that they would be able to report on in 15 years, Law where they held a mock trial of a case and Chemistry where they got to make their own soap and build a volcano. After lunch students all came back together for cultural activities and to end the day.

Overall, it was a great day out with the students getting to learn and be inspired for their own future endeavors. A big congratulations to Ocean McMurdo and Christina Robson who won their competition for changing the Coat of Arms!
