What parents loved about Family Welcome Day

Past Family welcome day moment 3
“Thank you RMIT and the Family Connect team for the session. I found it very meaningful. I hope RMIT will organise more activities to connect parents with the University to support new students, as they tend to be shy and reserved, and three years of university pass by very quickly. Such activities will help us understand and provide better support for our children, rather than doing things for them or letting them navigate the first year on their own."
Past Family welcome day event 7
“I truly appreciate RMIT Vietnam and the Family Connect team for organising the event. It provided valuable information for those with children in their first year of university. I hope RMIT will offer more engagement activities, allowing parents to support their children from a distance, as first-year students often face shyness and unfamiliarity."
Past Family welcome day moment 6
“The sharing session has been helpful. Even as a parent, I have picked up a lot of practical tips that I can apply right away. The learning approach here is engaging, and modern. I am thankful as the session helped ease the worries I had from the early days.”
