What’s on
R U OK? Day
R U OK? Day is an important day to raise awareness for mental health and remind everyone to check in on those around you. We got together for a pizza lunch and chats.
The majority of our students, and many of our staff, are living away from home, from their family and close friends which we know can be difficult at times. This is why it’s so important to ask your friends, classmates, colleagues, housemates “Are you ok?” and really listen.
Goodlife Guest Speaker
We welcomed Dean from Goodlife Fitness to come and talk to our fitness students about working in the industry and a breakdown of what working as a PT would look like.

Helpful Tips for finding accommodation in Australia
We know finding suitable accommodation can be a challenge for international students at this time of year. Austrade publishes a range of tools and resources on the Study Australia website on accommodation options within Australia including:
- Tips on creating a strong rental housing application.
- Tips to find the right home and house mates for you.
- Know your rights as a tenant in Australia.
Costs of accommodation will vary depending on your chosen state, city, and type of accommodation. The cost of living calculator on the Study Australia website helps students calculate their expenses.

Fun fact: I love the fashion world! I can recognise brands and trends easily, and I find it fun to explore the stories and history behind the big fashion houses

Nationality: I’m Brazilian, but I’ve called Japan home since I grew up there from the age of 2
Fave pastime/hobby: I enjoy colouring books and painting on canvas. I also like staying active, and recently cycling has become my new hobby
