We've loved spending the last two days together at our Pre-Orientation Program!

Wednesday at Gardens Point saw us come together for an engaging session with Chelsea Watego from the Carumba Institute, along with faculty sessions to help students settle in.

Thursday at Kelvin Grove continued with our Money Matters session, learning about scholarships and financial support, followed by another Carumba Institute session focused on storytelling.

Our planned trip tomorrow to Minjerribah has been postponed due to extreme weather warnings - registered students, please check your emails for more details 🌨️

Thanks to everyone who joined us at POP!

What a beautiful start to POP yesterday at Kelvin Grove, opening with the smoking ceremony and powerful performances from Tribal Experiences and the Wagga Torres Strait Islander Dancers. We also enjoyed learning with HiQ, exploring campus, and signing up for Keystones of Success.

Hearing from QUT Alumnus Shaymus Malone was a real highlight, reminding us of the deadly things our mob can achieve and the bright futures ahead. ✨

Today we're exploring Gardens Point campus.
Tomorrow we will be beginning the day at Gardens Point and student's will finish off at their home campuses. We're excited to continue this journey with you.
🖤💛❤️ 💚💙🤍
