Come join us for some fun, interactive activities designed to support your wellbeing as you start university life. This event is especially for our international students to help you set your intentions for the year ahead, find out about all the support available, and make new friends along the way.

Plus, you’ll get to take a plant potted by you to symbolise your journey. We will also have a range of postcards and fidget toys for you to take away to decorate your new place and make it feel like home.

We can’t wait to see you there!!

Info: Opportunity to set your intentions for your university journey. You will get to plant a flower of your choice and see it flourishing throughout the year. All necessary tools will be provided.
