Curtin University has made the difficult decision to postpone its Open Day scheduled for this Sunday due to the approaching cyclone and forecast severe weather.
With more than 25,000 people expected to attend, the safety of future students, families, staff and visitors is the priority.
Given the expected conditions, the University is not able to safely set up, prepare for or deliver the event.
Curtin University Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer Dr Marco Schultheis said the decision was not taken lightly.
“Curtin’s Open Day is the largest in Western Australia and we know it’s something thousands of families plan around,” Dr Schultheis said.
“It’s a real chance to walk the campus, meet the people who’ll teach and support you and get a genuine feel for what the Curtin community is like. That’s why we’re so disappointed we can’t go ahead this weekend, but safety always comes first.
“We’re working on an alternative date so we can welcome people back, answer their questions and give them that full Curtin experience.”
In the meantime, future students and their families can find more information about our courses at the Curtin website or by contacting Curtin Connect on 1300 222 888 between 8:30am and 4:30pm.
