🎓 Celebrating Elise – One of Our Recent Graduates

We are so proud to celebrate Elise, who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Counselling (with Distinction) from the Australian College of Christian Studies. Elise was also awarded the Counselling Award, recognising her outstanding academic achievement and commitment to the profession.

She is now studying her Master of Counselling and a Diploma of Theology, continuing her studies right here at CUC Parkes.

Elise’s hard work, compassion and determination shine through in everything she does, and we are excited to see the impact she will make in the counselling field.

🎓 Thank You for Joining Us at the UOW Parent and Student Information Evening

A huge thank you to James from the University of Wollongong for delivering such an informative and engaging presentation at last night’s Parent and Student Information Evening. James shared a wealth of valuable information about UOW’s campus, accommodation options, financial and scholarship support, facilities, campus life, relocating to Wollongong, and course pathways.

We’re also grateful for the fantastic resources he provided, including the UOW Course Guide, the Relocating to Wollongong booklet, and the Year 10 Guidebook. These will be available at the Centre for anyone who would like to explore their options further.

A big thank you as well to the high school students and families who attended. It was wonderful to see so many people planning ahead, asking thoughtful questions and exploring what university study could look like after the HSC.

CUC Parkes also has a range of information booklets from other universities, along with our own CUC Parkes Scholarship Guide. All of these resources are free to collect from the Centre.

If any HSC students or their families would like to talk through university planning, including choosing a university, subject selection, course options, relocating, financial assistance, scholarships, or studying on campus or online, our staff are always happy to help.

To book an appointment, please contact Brooke at:
📧 [email protected]

We look forward to supporting you on your pathway to university.
