About to go live on ABC Melbourne with Richelle Hunt and Victoria University student Meredith Hunt to talk about why someone’s ATAR does not, in itself, reflect their full potential. There is so much more beyond the ATAR. Listen here: abc.net.au/listen/live/me…

Every year there is a debate about ATARs – and every year, I emphasise this: an ATAR does not define who you are or what you can achieve. Great discussion with Richelle Hunt, Meredith and ABC Melbourne listeners this morning on The Conversation Hour: abc.net.au/listen/program…

If you listen to one #podcast today, make it this one: the story of Victoria University IT graduate, Anesu Masocha. Originally from Zimbabwe, Anesu came to Melbourne in 2013 to study with us. However, his path took an unexpected turn soon after arriving.šŸŽ™ļøpeople-of-vu.zencast.website
