“Fairway to me is a program that allows me to meet new people and make many new friends at my same age outside of my school. It also encourages me to try hard in Year 12 and prepare for university. I learned so many new things and had a lot of fun through the program.” Fairway Year 12 student, 2023

Fairway means assistance into university and further study. Being regional, information is limited about university and it feels like you are going in blind. Fairway means a pathway into somewhere that seems very daunting for many students, but it’s made that move seem more exciting as ever, especially as it has allowed me to make so many connections with other students who will be studying here too.”  Fairway Year 12 student, 2023
