From the Deputy CEO - Friday 1 August 2025

Semester Two Start & Open Day
Possum Magic

Dear all

As we approach the end of Week 1 (or Week 2 for QUT), I have enjoyed catching up with many of you around the campus. As ICC Sport & Cultural competition recommences next week, I would encourage the College to play with sportsmanship, and for supporters to always be respectful. 

In addition, Adele and Maike have put together a great program for Wellbeing week which commences on Monday. I look forward to seeing most of the College come together for the Community Dinner on Tuesday evening, as well as supporting Forbes at ICC Oratory.

Open Day - Sunday 3 August

Open Day, one of the busiest days of the year, is this Sunday 3 August. A reminder to all residents that the College needs to be clean, tidy and highly presentable. 

If you are assisting with tours, please be on time for your allocated session(s).
