Helping Year 12s Think About Uni (and Faith)

Each year, AFES partners with schools in Sydney and Melbourne to help Year 12 students think well about life after school — especially the transition to university.

Through these visits, students hear directly from current university students about what uni life is really like, and how they can connect with an AFES group on campus when they begin their studies.

Are you a teacher?

We would love to organise a visit where current AFES university students speak with your Year 12s about:

  • the realities of university life
  • navigating the first year out of school
  • and opportunities to connect with a Christian group on campus

These sessions are practical, student‑focused, and grounded in real uni experience.

What could a visit look like?
We’re flexible and keen to work around what suits your school context. A visit could be:

  • a short slot in a Year 12 assembly
  • a before‑school gathering for Year 12 students
  • time during a lunchtime meeting
  • or a full Christian Studies or RE class

Where possible, we love sending former students from your school back to speak with your Year 12s.

Are you a current uni student?

School visits are a great way to serve Year 12 students, represent AFES well, and help others prepare for the jump to uni.

How the process works:

  1. Register your interest and be added to a WhatsApp group where available visits are shared
  2. Attend a 45‑minute online training session outlining responsibilities and visit content
  3. Hold a valid Volunteer WWCC and provide this to the school
  4. Liaise directly with the school contact once a visit is allocated
  5. Receive all the materials you need, including slides and handouts
  6. After completing a visit, receive a discount voucher for NTE
    (Limit: 2 per person, 2 per school)

Who is AFES?

The Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES) is a national movement of Christian uni students. Across campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, and around Australia, AFES exists to proclaim Jesus Christ at uni, and to help students think carefully about how their faith shapes all of life — including study, work, and relationships.

Each year, thousands of students connect with AFES groups on campus. Some are exploring Christianity for the first time; many are Christians looking for deep community and solid teaching as they begin university.
