Information for schools

School Outreach

Jumbunna routinely hosts schools and community groups on visits to the university. We can organise to visit specific areas of interest and also in some areas, hands-on interactive activities.

In 2011 we will be developing new programs for schools and parents to find out more about pursuing tertiary study at UTS. If you would like to organise a visit to UTS or if you would like UTS to come to your school download the attached form here (PDF, 290kb) and send it in to Sophia Romano using the contact details on the form.

Jumbunna work in close contact with the Equity and Diversity Unit to target Indigenous students attending schools within the NSW Priority Schools Funding Program (PSFP) (opens an external site).

They have developed a number of resources to help students and parents be informed about university.
