STUDENT NEWS

Welcome to Wednesday!

While semester 2 exams loom, there are plenty of opportunities to have a study break around the North Terrace campus.

On Thursday there'll be dogs to pat in the Hub, plus the Kick Back Shack until 8 November, and the library's Distraction In/Action involves free tea, coffee, massages and more.
Not to mention 3D art you can take photos with, and a mini breakfast club in Union House, in case you forgot to eat before you left the house.

Assessments may approach, but your wellbeing is what's most important - so take breaks, take care and look after yourself.
