Orientation Session

On July 4^th 2011, the MEGT Institute team welcomed the new intake to the Term 3 “O” Week Program
consisted of three days being:

Monday: Orientation Session

Tuesday and Wednesday: Employable skills courses such as RSA, RGC, First Aid and Anaphylaxis

Day one (Monday) was planned to provide the new students with a feel of the “campus way of life” through an interactive Orientation Session.

The day started early where they received a warm welcome from Tony Patterson – Campus Manager followed by a “meet and greet”
introduction to each member of the MEGT administrative, academic and marketing team.
Following the staff members introduction, the new students were able to get to know a bit more about the MEGT Student Council.

Represented by Patricia Nathan, they were talked through the Student Council vision, mission and values.

Upon returning from the morning break, the students were invited to play an ice breaker where they had to introduce themselves
and perform timed  tasks such as going to reception and bringing the Campus Manager to the room to recite a funny poem together!

Services available for students, campus facilities and Policies and Procedures sessions were delivered throughout the day by Luci Vicente – Students Services Officer.
After a well deserved lunch break, the students were divided into two teams and surprised by the announcement of a fun team building “Policies and Procedures Quiz Session” where the winner team would be presented by a mystery prize.

The quiz session was interactive and educational; the students demonstrated commitment and team work to answer the questions and both teams had close results but unfortunately only one could be the winner of a $20 academic voucher.
To conclude the Orientation Session, the students were then divided into two faculty groups:

The Business & Hospitality group; represented by the Academic Program Coordinator Marike Janavicus and the Children Services group; represented by the Work Placement Coordinator Carmel Williams.

During the academic breakdown the students were able to know a bit more about their course of choice and each student received a complimentary Starter Pack consisting of one pencil case, one MEGT personalised hoddie which will definitely be very useful during Sydney’s chilli winter!
