Professor Lee Dow, former Vice-Chancellor Melbourne University and distinguished education scholar, is keen to support the approach which Skyline uses to build the confidence of talented students from disadvantaged backgrounds at a critical stage in enlarging their educational opportunities – both short term and long term.
For many years as chair of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority, and some of its predecessor bodies, Professor Lee Dow has been committed to easing and improving the transition which students make through the last years of school and in choosing courses and tertiary institutions for their subsequent professional careers and personal development.
There are many aspects to this process, spreading over years, and Skyline highlights and successfully enhances student self-awareness and knowledge of options and prospects.
