Published on 09 February, 2009 

Brisbane's home-schooled students came in droves recently to hear about how they could begin university study before completing year 12.

CQUniversity's Promotions and Recruitment Officer Crystal Chopping and Aviation Technology Senior Lecturer Ron Bishop met with 70 families at 2 separate meetings in Brisbane over the past few months (the second meeting was just last week) to discuss the opportunities that are available through the University's Start Uni Now (SUN) program.

Mr Bishop said he had met a group of the home-school families at the Amberley Airshow earlier in the year, which inspired the meetings.

He said the meetings had been so successful that 2 students applied to study though the SUN program at one of the meetings, with many more keen to apply in the near future.
