The Events and Activities program is designed to help international students adjust to their life on and off the campus. Through these events and activities students will also become more familiar with Canberra and the surrounding cities and regions.

It is very simple to find out about what is happening.

  • Make sure that you regularly access your student email account. We will notify you of any up-coming day or overnight trips via your email.
  • Make regular visits to the International Student Services Office, lower ground floor, Pauline Griffin Building, # 11.We display fliers and brochures in the office about up-coming events.

Whether it's an orientation session, a trip away or a social barbeque with fellow students, there is always something going on.
