Student News

Welcome to Optional Teaching Week (if you're studying in Semester 1)! Hopefully this week gives you a bit of space to finalise classes and assignments, and if you have exams, then you can start your exam study too.

If you're needing a bit of academic help to finish assignments or revise for exams, check out the "Academic support services" further down in this email.

Enjoy the week, and hopefully you can take advantage of the cold, rainy weather and grab your books, a cuppa, and study while you snuggle up out of the chilly air.
