Open Day is your chance to get to know La Trobe before you start your course in Semester 1. There’s loads of important information to take in, and much fun to be had.
We’ve pored over everything happening at Open Day this year, and picked out the things you definitely shouldn’t miss.
See you there!
1. Win great prizes
Want to win a $4,500 travel voucher? How about tickets to The Australian Ballet’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? All these will be up for grabs at Open Day, along with heaps of other freebies.

2. Plant a tree with an iPad
Our Living Landscapes project lets you get your creative juices flowing and help protect a vital habitat at the same time. In the style of iconic artist David Hockney, you’ll create a plant using an iPad and virtually plant it on a scale replica of our 30 hectare Wildlife Sanctuary. For every virtual plant created, one will be planted in real life!

3. Take a virtual reality tour
Our health students get to practise what they learn in our clinical schools, located at hospitals such as the Alfred. We can’t bring the Alfred to campus, but you can explore our Alfred Clinical school at Open Day through the magic of virtual reality!
