The University Preparation Program is designed for mature age students and people who didn’t complete years 11 and 12 who want to grow their confidence and build their skills and knowledge.

Kellie Anderson is a mother of four with a passion for equal education for all children. She always wanted to go to uni, but her family situation didn’t allow her to go straight after school.

After finishing school in grade ten, she worked in childcare and started her own family.

Kellie’s passion for education grew, and after a decade’s break from school, she signed up for the University Preparation Program at the Cradle Coast Campus. She is a recipient of the Sue Napier scholarship.
