Striving for study success

Striving for study success

Main

Aspire P站视频 is about supporting students from all backgrounds to view higher education as an achievable option. As P站视频鈥檚 primary outreach initiative, our programs aim to inform and excite participants about pursuing university.

We work closely with a range of community partners and select schools throughout the Australian Capital Territory and regional and rural New South Wales. We also offer opportunities for careers advisers, school leaders, families and communities.

Through accessible information on career learning and development, overcoming barriers, and advice on post-school pathway options, Aspire P站视频 programs offer everyone a better understanding of university and its outcomes.

Our programs aim to support students from backgrounds that are traditionally less likely to be involved in university, including those:

  • from regional, rural or remote areas
  • of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage
  • with a history of financial disadvantage
  • with little or no family experience in higher education.

Our in-school programs introduce students to the benefits of higher education without disrupting their regular routine.

Activities may focus on any of the following topics:

  • exploring the differences between high school and university
  • identifying barriers and strategies to overcome them
  • identifying personal strengths and attributes
  • future career pathways
  • setting goals
  • study skills.

We're passionate about delivering programs designed specifically for the participants. If you鈥檙e a school or community organisation representative, let us know how we can tailor programs to suit the specific needs of your participants.

Schools and education groups located more than 90 minutes away from the university can opt to attend a camp at our Bruce campus. Running for two or three days, our camps offer an immersive university experience.

Our camps focus on: 

  • introducing students to university, including key disciplines and faculties 
  • simplifying the application process 
  • familiarising students with campus life.  

Project-based learning programs

Project-based learning programs

Main

Our project-based learning programs provide participants with the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of and aspiration for higher education. These programs take an embedded approach to learning and can be localised to suit the unique context of a school or organisation.

Due to their collaborative design, the programs assist in the development of general capabilities identified in the Australian school curriculum including creative and critical thinking, and personal and social capability. 

These programs are delivered in three stages.

Stage one 鈥� Engagement:

  • decide on the issue or challenge that will be the focus of the project
  • define career, university of vocational education (TAFE) options
  • explore what university is like and why a degree is valuable.

Stage two 鈥� Accelerating:

  • decide on activities relevant to the issue or challenge
  • analyse activities to identify strengths and weaknesses
  • explore potential careers in the context of the project
  • reflect on skills, values and interests to identify desired careers
  • explore education pathways towards desired careers.

Stage three 鈥� Leading:

  • identify issues worth considering when designing a project for their school or organisation
  • design, implement and share the project
  • delegate tasks to individuals who will each contribute to the project
  • create and document a personal learning journey.

The number and frequency of engagements is flexible. Aspire P站视频 works with schools and organisations to find the best fit.
