[Yr7-10it] ICT Careers Expo 2009 - Saturday 1st August

[Adrian Janson]

Hi everyone (and apologies for the cross posts),

 

Wanted to email you all to promote the VITTA ICT Careers Expo for 2009 -
which will be on the Saturday 1st August at Melbourne High School from 10am
- 3pm.

We have organized lots of exciting items for this event - I guess the main
focus for your students will be the exhibition hall - where we have over 25
exhibitors from the tertiary sector and industry.  The Expo is really a
great opportunity for students to get all the information they need in one
location, as opposed to visit numerous open days.  Students will be able to
get specific course advice, course materials and will be in a position to
come away from the event with a comparison between the courses on offer.

 

In addition to the exhibitors, we have over 20 sessions on topics from game
development to eSecurity.  There will be music sessions by people who have
worked on Slumdog Millionaire and James Bond, Wii Music and So You Think You
Can Rock heats and a special forum for parents, teachers and students.
Nintendo will be in the exhibition hall - in an area we are calling the
Nintendo Games Corner!

 

It is a totally free event for your students (and yourself)!  We are giving
away a Nintendo Wii to a lucky student who registers on the web-site using
the link below:

All students need to do is to register and then bring their printed ticket
along on the day to place in the prize box.  There are other 'on-the-day'
prizes as well!  

 

Events like this one are really important and are a great way that we can
promote our subject area and increase our enrolments - I hope to see you all
there!

 

Cheers,

Adrian
