FUSA has put together a stellar lineup of events and activities for O’Week 2019! Every day is different, so you’ll want to be there for it all. There will be entertainment and live music to get you through the doors and a bunch of freebies to collect along the way!
So, what’s Flinders O’Week got going on for you this year?
Whether you’re new or returning Flinders folk, you’ll want to come on by the FUSA stall to pick up your student diary and tote bag! Next, make the most of the day by getting some henna and putting our caricature artist to the test!
After all these pit stops you’ll have worked up an appetite! Every day in O’Week we will have plenty of free food and snacks to fill your bellies. And if that doesn’t tickle you pink, there’ll be freshly sugared donuts to keep you sweet!
Throughout the week there’ll be plenty of ways to mix and mingle!
Sturt kids, listen up! O’Week will be hitting the campus with some mighty fine incentives to get you racing down Registry Road –free food, giveaways and live music. Nice!
Need a jolly good laugh? We all do! That’s why we’ve serving you comedy gold on Monday arvo. On Tuesday we start getting quizzical at the annual O’Week Quiz Arvo so head up to Alere with your crew to flex that general knowledge!
Thankfully, the week doesn’t end here. Clubs Day on Wednesday is a fantastic opportunity to join a club (or several!) and get involved in the student community. Thursday is where we settle in for a free screening of Black Panther on the grassy meadows of the Flinders Plaza! In the arvo, join us for Tastes at the Tav – there’ll be some bubbles & bites to keep your bellies happy!
