High-school students from across the South Okanagan region will spend a day at Okanagan College’s Penticton campus on Tuesday, May 1 and experience what it’s like to be a college student for a day.
The college has invited students in Grades 10-12 from across the region to attend Experience OC for a day of learning, fun and post-secondary exploration.
Students can choose to register from among more than 20 classes, ranging from animation to physics, astronomy to practical nursing, criminology to geography and more.
“Experience OC is an excellent opportunity for students to explore a variety of areas of interest and get a sense of what Okanagan College has to offer,” said Eric Corneau Regional Dean for the South Okanagan-Similkameen, in a news release issued Friday. “The College offers a wide variety of programs in trades, academic diplomas and degree options and this event is a perfect way for high-school students to think about post-secondary.”
In addition to the hour-long classes, students will be treated to fun activities, snacks and refreshments. The event takes place from 10:15 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Registration is now open. For more information and to register your attendance and class choices, students should speak to their high school counsellor for login information and permission slips.
