Forum+at+Boort+P-12

Speech and content for the forum at Boort P-12 College.

I have made some dot points as a start. I thought it would be good to do it in the same format as the symposium (i.e. divide it into 5 main parts, so we can make our own speech)

1. Introduction Who we are - Melbourne Uni students from different faculties, joined SALP in the hope to make a difference in the society How we came up to this project etc

2. Aims of the project To increase local tourism traffic by bringing in more youths into the community Promote agri tourism and eco tourism Broadening horizons of both city and country students Increasing awareness of higher education opportunities Promote Melbourne University and Melbourne city to country students and break down the scary stereotypes Raising prospects of future professionals to develop in the rural communities etc

3.Academics at Melbourne University When was it established Different faculties available Different opportunities available the Melbourne model good lecturers, library, etc??

4. Melbourne University Experience - not just study Different clubs and hence opportunities good location multicultural society faculty balls LIVE unit (SALP, Duke of Ed, UROP-Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program for Biomed and Science students) pretty buildings (historic, modern)

5. Melbourne City Experience good food movies - 3D Imax (apparently one of the largest screens in the world??) museums high quality coffee places transport readily accessible different theatre companies and stage shows (Love Never Dies, Mary Poppins, etc) My friend also said its so much better than Sydney which I think its a plus point since Robyn said many students go to Sydney instead of Melbourne. We just need to indirectly hint how it is better though (I have never been to Sydney- any ideas??)

This is all that I can think of right now.. Do you all like the division? We can each choose one division to talk about.

Please share your ideas :)
