Fleurieu Study Hub opens!
Published 20th September 2024
The face of tertiary education is changing for Fleurieu Peninsula students, with the opening of the long-awaited Fleurieu Study Hub on September 19.
Located at TAFE SA Victor Harbor, the new facilities will provide access to Wi-Fi, computers, video conferencing and quiet study areas for the students who wish to study remotely from the Fleurieu – a growing need for many as, the cost-of-living crisis makes commuting or moving away from home more difficult.
The new facility will also offer a free space to meet with student advisors who can provide advice and support on career pathways, industry experience options, how to enrol, extra support resources and remote study expertise.
City of Victor Harbor Mayor Moira Jenkins said the Hub has launched on the Fleurieu at a crucial time.
“Online tertiary education continues to grow in Australia and the Study Hub ensures that students engaging in online learning are well-supported and engaged. Importantly, this facility allows students to remain in their communities and connected to family and friends,” she said.
“It can feel like a big task to pursue further study after school, particularly for regional students. The new study hub meets a crucial need for our coastal communities.”
This initiative has been made possible by funding though the Australian Government’s Regional University Study Hubs Program and through the support of key partner agencies, including the Rural City of Murray Bridge's existing program the Murray River Study Hub and RDA Adelaide Hills Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island and Fleurieu councils.
Anyone looking to study at the Hub, or seeking information, should visit the website fsh.org.au to fill out an Expression of Interest (EOI) form.
