Student News

Semester 1 exams have begun (though I'm sure you don't need reminding).

If you still have exams or assessment, then good luck! Of course, if you need some help dealing with the stress, there are some awesome Student Wellbeing resources, along with blogs written by students - and of course Counselling Support is available if you need a confidential chat.

This time of year can be a bit overwhelming, so please give yourself a chance to relax with a cup of tea in evenings (or do whatever is relaxing for you). Take a deep breath, be gentle with yourself, and just take it one day at a time. ☕
