Student News

 

Welcome back to another eventful week.

This week we are finally starting to see some decent spring weather! It's a great time to enjoy outdoors at least by heading outside to study.

As semester two is drawing to a close, consider taking a moment to plan and organise your revision. Being prepared when exams are near will bring lots of confidence.

On a final note, Ingenuity is happening next week. If you haven’t booked your free tickets yet, this is your chance.

 

Mental Health Awareness Month

A person looking out in to the nature

Mental health Awareness month will draw to an end next week. Taking care of your mental health and wellbeing needs to be a regular habit for all of us, even when we feel like there is no time for self care.

Next week, stop by the Co-op at Hub Central for daily wellbeing events, including ‘Ask Anything’ - a chance to have your questions answered by the wonderful University Counselling Team.
