Top 5 Must Do’s Over O-Week – Gold Coast Campus

The start of a new uni year is a super exciting time, especially if it’s your first year. O-Week is the perfect way to ease into uni and celebrate the start of the trimester. With so much going on, we thought we would share our top 5 must-do’s over O-Week.

Firstly, follow your hosts, GUGC Student Guild on Facebook for all O-Week 2017 details including parties, pool fun, stalls, campus tours, club sign-on and more.

1. Dive-in movie

When: Monday 20^th February – 7pm

Where: Pool G45

Take advantage of the new pool and come along to the dive-in movies. Bring your swimmers and inflatables or lounge on the deck in a comfy beanbag and watch Deadpool on the big-screen.

2. Attend your course welcome and introduction session

When: Monday 20^th – Friday 24^th

Where: Various locations

It is important to attend your course introductions to find out key information, meet new friends and get a feel for uni life. There is nothing worse then being lost and a Larry Loner on your first day, so avoid that stress and come along to your course introduction sessions.

3. O-Week Splash
