Futures Curriculum Outreach

Our Futures Curriculum (Outreach) programs support students to develop the knowledge, skills and mindsets to pursue higher education and thrive beyond school. Programs include on-campus experiences, in-school visits, and online engagements—often with university student mentors who help challenge common stereotypes.

Thanks to Australian Government funding, on-campus and many in-school programs are free for regional and low SES schools in South Australia.

Schools partnering with us in research receive full access to all programs at no cost.
