Dear First_Name
So here we are, the final teaching week of semester one 2022. The first full on-campus face to face semester of teaching for two years. It has been so wonderful to see you all back on campus filling out the courtyards, cafés, Tracks and libraries. We want to thank you all for getting involved and giving it a go this semester. Many events ran at full capacity, which we want to see! Our great hope is that this momentum carries on into semester 2, particularly as the weather gets warmer (yes, dreaming of summer already!) Best of luck with your exams. This will be the last newsletter for a while so make sure you check out ACU Life for all your Student Life, Sport and Ministry needs.
This is the last What’s On for Semester 1. We’ll be back in Semester 2 bigger and better than ever. We want to make sure we’re hitting the mark. So please answer this short questionnaire and you’ll go into the draw to win a $50 Amazon voucher.
Love us? Hate us? Just tell us! Take the survey
Join Student Life, Campus Ministry and Jim Baa Yer as we celebrate our nation's First Peoples. We acknowledge the hardships and mistreatment of our nation's First Peoples. National Sorry Day provides a chance to focus on healing and pursue reconciliation in Australian society.
Wow, we are heading into exam time already! If you need a break from study, feel free to check out the free photographic exhibition, Slava Ukraini, highlighting the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the resulting humanitarian crisis. The exhibition is free to view at Mitchel Harris. The photos were taken by our own BNBP student, Samuel Eder, and the show will run until 28 May.

Reconciliation Week
The National Reconciliation Week 2022 theme, “Be Brave. Make Change.” is a challenge to all Australians— individuals, families, communities, organisations and government—to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians.
Last year Reconciliation Australia encouraged all Australians to take action; not just during National Reconciliation Week but every week of the year.
We saw an unprecedented response to our suggested actions every day and for braver action.
This year we are asking everyone to make change beginning with brave actions in their daily lives – where they live, work, play and socialise. National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
