Student Wellbeing |
This semester marks the launch of the King’s Wellbeing Hub - a brand-new digital home for all things wellbeing!
The Hub is designed to give students round-the-clock access to practical, evidence-based resources that support a thriving college experience. Whether you want to get to know yourself better to foster your self-leadership skills, learn how to better manage stress, strengthen your relationships with others, or explore ways to find deeper meaning in your time at King’s - the Hub puts it all at your fingertips. You’ll also find recordings of past events, updates on upcoming activities, and a library of tools you can turn to anytime. While staff will keep adding more in the coming weeks, the foundation is laid - and you’re invited to check it out!

In the coming days, we’re also bringing a line-up of events designed to educate, connect, and spark conversations that matter:
Healthy Eating with Sally Anderson – 27 August, 4.30–5.30pm | Chapel
Forget the fads. Advanced sports dietitian Sally Anderson (Apple to Zucchini) will cut through the noise with real strategies for everyday nutrition, tips for fuelling athletes, and guidance on spotting early signs of eating disorders. Expect practical, no-nonsense advice you can use straight away
Wear It Purple Day – 29 August | Café
A celebration of diversity and inclusion, this national event is all about supporting LGBTQIA+ young people. Wear something purple, grab a free purple cupcake at the café, and stand with those who deserve to be safe and celebrated for who they are

Financial Wellbeing with Molly Benjamin – 2 September, 2.30–3.30pm | Chapel
Back at her old UQ stomping ground, Molly will share the money mistakes she made as a student and how to avoid them. From mastering superannuation to investing with as little as $10, this session will give you the confidence to start building your financial future now.

R U OK? Day BBQ – 11 September, 4pm | Quad
More than just a sausage sizzle, this annual event is a chance to connect meaningfully with friends and peers. Join us in the Quad to enjoy great food, good company, and a reminder that asking “Are you OK?” can make a real difference
Hope to see you there!
