Free Murdoch library membership and Open Your Mind Day

Thank you for attending the WACE Preparation Days last week. I hope you enjoyed the program and took away valuable study tips and material to help you prepare for your exams.

Next week, Murdoch University is holding Open Your Mind Day on Sunday 18 August, which I encourage all of you to come along and experience more of the campus, find out about courses you are interested in studying or just get some inspiration for the future and enjoy the entertainment!

It would also be a good opportunity to visit the university's library, which has a wealth of resources and an ideal space for studying for exams. As you may already know, membership to the library is free for Year 12 students. To join, just fill in a membership form at the library (and ask your parent or guardian to sign if you are under the age of 18).

Good luck with your studying and the exams and remember: Murdoch offers lots of opportunities, so make the most of it!
