The school's stage three students got a taste of what their lives post-school in the years to come may hold when the team from Charles Sturt University's Future Moves initiative visited to discuss all things related to developing careers and the possibilities involved with tertiary education.

Parkview Public principal Travis Irvin was excited his school had joined forces with the regionally-based institution.

"The aim of the relationship is to deliver dynamic and aspirational in-school workshops that are linked to the curriculum and the Australian Blueprint for Career Development, aimed specifically at providing our children with ideas around tertiary education and career pathway options," he said.

"From what we experienced in the first visit, we are confident this is going to be a mutually beneficial relationship."

Years five and six students engaged in 60-minute workshops led by educators Jack Cox (student education officer) and Kacey Chandler (program officer), featuring hands-on activities with links to opportunities gained from tertiary education and opportunities to answer questions regarding university and the future of careers.

One of the key activities from the day was completing self-portraits where the students' explored ideas around the career they would like to do when they finish school and what they need to do to get there.

The students have taken their work home to encourage further conversation with family and carers.
