HIGH school students in Lautoka and Nadi interested in furthering studies overseas will get the chance to make an informed choice at next week's roadshow by five Australian tertiary institutions.

Australian High Commission media relations officer Dennis Rounds said representatives of the institutions would undertake an educational roadshow in Fiji for senior secondary school students and those interested in furthering their studies in Australia.

Mr Rounds said students, career teachers, parents and educational institutions would be provided information about courses on offer.

Mr Rounds said the institutions were Griffith University, Queensland University of Technology, University of New Castle, University of Canberra, and Le Cordon Bleu Australia Pty Ltd.

"AusAID officials will also be on hand to provide information on the various Australian scholarships which are available," he said.

In addition to offering safe and vibrant learning environments close to Fiji, Australian educational institutions also provide graduates who are in demand by employers globally.
