Special Weekly Guest Lectures

Once weekly, the streams meet collectively in order to explore topics of interest to all Vic One students. These sessions take place on Wednesday afternoons from 4-5pm and are followed by a coffee hour during which students are welcome to speak with the lecturers personally.
