In Andrew's absence, I wanted to give my appreciation for your efforts over the past two weeks. The Learning Centre and Chapel have been full of dedicated study, and in general most of you have been respectful of others regarding noise during this exam period - so thank you.

A reminder for you all though - there should be no reason for you using a speaker which is audible outside of your room, at any time of the day during this period. As people are finishing their last exams, it is not an excuse to then impact the studies of others. Those making poor choices in this regard will be asked to commence their holiday break earlier than planned.

Finally, the best of wishes to our Henley rowers as they depart on Monday 16 June. 

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday break. Stay safe, and we will see you back on campus toward the end of July.

LUKE RICHARDSON - ACTING DEPUTY CEO

Flat Reminder

With the upcoming holiday period looming, a couple of quick reminders regarding your room.....

• Fridges should be cleaned out of all food and perishables
• Fridge should be left on
• Tidy and put items away to allow cleaners the space to do their work
