Last week, we witnessed an impressive turnout of more than 70 ACU students at UniNationals on the Gold Coast, and we're thrilled to share some outstanding results. Congratulations to all the participants! For a comprehensive overview of how our teams performed, visit @acusport on Instagram.
As the impending exams draw near, we strongly encourage you to carve out some time for yourself. Take a break, attend an event, and relish the enjoyable activities that ACU has in store for you. Not a member of ACU Life yet? Be sure to log in (using your student email) so you don't miss out.
Student Life and BAKSA invite you to come to a relaxing session of painting with snacks and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) from 3-5pm Tuesday 10 October, run on campus by paint and sip professionals Pinot and Picasso. Take some time out and try something new – it’s a lot of fun and you’ll be surprised at what you can do!
Time to almost put your feet up as the week nears completion. Every second Thursday, have an early start to the weekend from us at the Track with some fun pub games, food and beverages and put some cool prizes up for grabs here and there!
Calling education students and anyone interested in a unique faith formation opportunity! Come along and learn about this wonderful program that counts as a unit towards your degree (#lifehack)! Come along for food, fellowship and information on this missionary experience)!
We know you've just come back from the break, but if you’re feeling under the pump right now, we want you to know you’re not alone. This can be an intense time of year – so to help we’re offering lots of opportunities to take a few hours out to do something different. Whether it’s joining us at Featherdale Wildlife Park, trying paint and sip for the first time or just hanging out, remember to take time just for you.
Play basketball?
ACU is locked in to compete in the 2024 University Basketball League (UBL). This nationwide competition pits thirteen rival universities against one another and offers high-achieving students a chance to balance basketball and studies. ACU Sport will be holding trials for both women’s and men’s teams later in the year. Complete the EOI, and we’ll be in touch or for more information email admin.sport@acu.edu.au.
Calm in the storm
ACU offers counselling services and support for you, but if you’re looking for an empty space where you can be as vulnerable and think in peaceful stillness - there is a Catholic Chapel on campus. All are welcome to enter, no matter what background you’ve come from. A space like that can offer great consolation and comfort. It’s called the Josephine Bakhita Chapel, located on the ground floor.
