Nearly 50 Cherbourg State School students found how “deadly cool” the University of the Sunshine Coast can be when they visited its campus recently.
The group, which are working on digital literacy, have been studying with USC student teachers for six weeks before heading to their campus.
The students used iPads to take photos and recorded their sounds and thoughts to help them create a poem.
Dr Anne Drabble, from USC, said aim of the project was to and lift the students’ education goals.
“We want the students to see attending university as a real possibility,” Dr Drabble said.
“The children thought their visit was fantastic. They were so focussed and a brilliant group of students to work with. I feel they will go back to their parents and talk about the wonderful learning experiences they had, just as we will talk about their time here at USC.”
