Check out the schedule here.  

Connect group

Come along to our Connect groups where you can connect with other students, have a bite to eat and enjoy time out from your busy campus life. We choose topics related to university life to have a casual discussion about - it might be about uni life, relationships, managing stress, faith or life topics, or sometimes we just like to chill and enjoy each other's company. Come along to check it out at our first session this Tuesday which is looking at the topic of university life and that dreaded study enemy, procrastination.
