Embrace Program Coordinator Hired!
Submitted by admin on Sun, 14/02/2010 - 23:01
Through grants shared between Embrace and several schools, we have been able to hire a part-time coordinator to help oversee the program. In the past the organisation has been completely volunteer run, which at times has been a lot for our committee to manage on top of our own Uni studies and other commitments. Thanks to CMY this funding, which lasts for 3 years, will offer continuity and more stability to the program.

Embrace has again paid for year 12 students to attend revision lectures run by TSSM. Last year we sent students along to what amounted to $4872 worth of lectures. With TSSM's support we have been able to extend this relationship this year. Thanks to Embrace and TSSM, students across Melbourne have attended $8099 worth of lectures this year. This was only possible thanks to the generous discount afforded by TSSM. Please visit their website at http://www.tssm.com.au/ and recommend them to people you know who are doing VCE.

The new website is up on the web for all to see! This is all thanks to Katat Choi, a Monash Uni IT student who graciously offered up his time to help design a website that more suited our needs. Have a look around, see what you think, and don't forgot to let us know what you think works well or can be improved upon. We'll be gradually adding new images and content, so don't be surprised to see a few more changes the next time you visit! See below for a quick rundown of some of the new features......
