CUC Bass Coast hits 600 students! 👏👏👏

A huge milestone for the Centre and community — we can’t wait to see what’s ahead!

600 students and growing! 🎉

Since opening our doors in March 2021, CUC Bass Coast has officially supported 600 students through the Centre.

From day one, our goal has been to provide local students with access to higher education without having to leave their community, and we’re incredibly proud of all of the students we’ve been able to support so far.

Next week we’ll be revealing who our special 600th student is… stay tuned! 👀

Thank you to our incredible students, partners, staff, and wider community for being part of the journey so far. This is a huge milestone and we’re so excited for what’s ahead.
