25.01.2022 At some point in our lives we all find ourselves avoiding a certain task; be it at work, at home (putting away the clean clothes) or exercise. The same rings true for university studies. You put off doing your weekly readings, writing that essay or studying for an exam. Until the stress of accumulated tasks and deadlines gets too much, and avoidance simultaneously becomes your best friend and worst enemy! Read more about how you can avoid the avoidance cycle: https://www.cucfarwest.edu.au//the-avoidance-cycle-what-i/

Having attended almost every Learning Skills workshop in 2019, and more in 2020, Bri says "the LSA support has helped me break down my learning to reduce my anxiety and gave me the confidence to complete. For anyone considering study, I'd say DO IT! You don't need to go to the city to get support to further your education."

20.01.2022 We are always open to feedback and appreciate when students reach out to let us know how they are going. "THANK YOU all for your help it means more than you know! Thank you CUC Far West and Lisa for your amazing help. I really doubted myself and my ability to put together my uni assignments, due to a lack of schooling as a teenager, I knew I had huge gaps in my learning. With all the workshops your centre has provided, and the extra help from Lisa, I was amazed at my results. For my last essay assignment, I was able to achieve a Credit!"

20.01.2022 A little wisdom from Helen Keller, an American author and the first deaf and blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Happy Wednesday. #WednesdayWisdom #ourlocallearningcommunity #cucfarwest #countryuniversitiescentre

14.01.2022 Today marks the start of NAIDOC week 2020. "NAIDOC 2020 invites all Australians to embrace the true history of this country a history which dates back thousands of generations. It’s about seeing, hearing and learning the First Nations’ 65,000+ year history of this country - which is Australian history." ...

Husband and Father of 4, who has lived in Broken Hill for the last 17 years. Cory studies and works full time and commits himself to supporting many other students within the Centre. As an older University student. Life is complicated and busy most of the time. To give you context. I am an Aboriginal man who is a son, brother, cousin, husband, father, trainee Health professional, full-time university student, Aboriginal community member, sports team member, scouts parent helper, sit on 5 community committees who provide service, a board member of two local community businesses, memberships with several local clubs. I have lived off country for 17 years now. Which does not allow me the connection to my first people. I enjoy music, sports and most of all my culture. In amongst all that, the CUC allows me to immerse myself in a stress-free environment with the academic resources I need to organise the university student’s part of my busy hectic life. The CUC provides a facility that exceeds the expectation and needs for my learning progression. The CUC Staff are always there to assist and they know how to find the right pathway to whatever it is, we as students need." #ourlocallearningcommunity #NAIDOC2020 #cucfarwest

10.01.2022 Meet Phoebe Phoebe is studying a Bachelor of Education (k-6) through the University of New England. I chose to pursue this degree as I have always had an interest in education and enjoy working with children. Initially, after Year 12, I had enrolled in a secondary history education degree, but following a year working as a governess/home supervisor on a sheep station, I realised I enjoy working with primary school-aged children. Earlier this year, Phoebe was elected to the ...UNE Student Consultative Council as an online student representative. I believe that UNE online students, particularly, more regionally, need greater representation and a voice within the university. I want to be a valuable contributor to the council. With over 20 UNE students, the staff at CUC Far West have been supporting my efforts as a newly elected member, helping me begin to facilitate conversations with local UNE students. CUC Far West has provided me with a productive study space and support. It feels like going to work, and there is a level of good pressure to achieve goals and tasks in a shared environment. For anyone thinking about going to university while staying in the Far West, I would say go for it. It is more flexible and opens up new opportunities regarding career and lifestyle choices than you may think. The CUC is a fantastic resource that can help you transition into study and navigate learning online. @uninewengland @unesupport @unelife2351 #ourlocallearningcommunity #cucfarwest @countryuniversitiescentre @phoebee.annee
