It was great to be back on campus for Orientation today.

Our last few Orientation events have taken place online due to Covid restrictions, but today we were able to greet our new students in person.

Group Deputy Chief Executive Corporate Services, Amin Soleimani, welcomed the students at today’s event, saying it was great to see such a diverse cohort this study block.

He told them that OPAIC has a vision of developing the world’s most employable graduates. All staff were working hard toward that goal but it would also take input from students, he said.

He advised students to engage in activities inside and outside the classroom, join study groups, and ask for help when they needed it. Passionate staff who cared about their learning were available to help with all aspects of their journey, he said.

At today’s Orientation, students had the opportunity to meet staff, learn what different teams were responsible for, and tour the campus. The day also included an IT induction, an employability introduction, and an academic orientation.

Today’s on-campus Orientation followed an online event for our new overseas students held yesterday.
