Hello fellow kids! It’s time to start stretching because we have a crazy week ahead of us. No matter who you are, we reckon we’ve got something you’d like – maybe it’s the coveted totebag, maybe you have a lust to win laser skirmish. To be honest, it’s probably all the free food, comedians, musicians, coupled with the freedom of not having technically started classes!
To encourage you to mingle, make friends and feel at home, Flinders University Student Association (FUSA) has put together a marathon of events, activities, entertainment and freebies for O’Week, so come along and soak up the summer vibes as the whole week is going to be epic! Every day is different! Our big events are to your right, the whole schedule is below. Have a scroll! Also, the university has made a website all about the learnin’ side of things – and about other services you’ll use. It’s very handy, check it out here.
Lastly, we’ve made a game! It’s called summer slice because you slice all the fruit. We hope you like it, all the art and voice and music is made for you, with love from FUSA xxoo
