Semester one SWOT week is in full swing, and hopefully you're not feeling the pressure too much.

If you do need a break and like spending time with dogs, there'll be some dogs in the Hub tomorrow that you can come along and pat. And while you're around, swing by Ask Adelaide and grab a free piece of fruit!

Have an exam but can't find your ID card? Bring any photo ID to your exam and staff will be able to help you further.
