Children's University 

Children’s University is a global program that encourages children aged 7–14 to participate in extracurricular learning. In Tasmania, the program is administered by The Peter Underwood Centre at the University of Tasmania, and delivered in partnership with local schools and community centres.

Passport to Learning

New members receive a passport. They record their learning hours and collect stamps in it. When they reach milestone hours, their achievements are celebrated at a special graduation ceremony. The first milestone for new members is 30 hours. But members can continue to strive for higher awards. The hours also accrue, so if a milestone is not reached in the school year, the hours can count towards next year.

The Learning

Children’s University is voluntary and child led. Members are encouraged to explore and discover new ideas and experiences.

Activities may include:

• after school and lunch time clubs/activities
• visits to learning destinations, e.g. museums, libraries, nature parks
• school holiday programs
• Portal activities (online)

The School co-ordination at Glen Huon is Kristy Woolley.  She is support by Michelle Lovell on Tuesdays.  Please contact Kristy if your child/ren would like to join, either in person or via email, kristy.woolley@decyp.tas.gov.au

We are looking forward to many students joining CU this year!
