Parent Information Evenings
The transition from secondary to tertiary education is a big step – not just for students, but parents as well.
Parents and VCE students will be able to quell those fears at one of our information evenings. These will include:
- A parent's perspective on the transition from secondary school to tertiary study
- A student's perspective on going on to further study
- General information about entry, fees, scholarships, pathways and why Swinburne should be the institute of choice for your students.
There will be an opportunity for questions as well as light refreshments after the presentation.
