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.

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.

City Otter
A brand by Diploma of Leadership and Management student; Gabriele Vaineikyte
City Otter is a brand focusing on pedestrians’ safety by offering handmade reflective scrunchies.
My goal is not only to create fashionable accessories and also to educate people about the importance of wearing reflectors.
Ever since I was a child, I recognized the importance of wearing reflectors. However, it always seemed like there weren’t enough options available. I tried my best to wear reflectors but over time they vanished from my outfit. When walking in the unlit street or crossing the road after the sun was down I kept questioning myself – why did it happen and what can I do to change it.
The answer was quite obvious – there is no doubt that reflectors are extremely important, but a rare person is able to choose a reflector that he likes and suits him from the available offers these days. While style should not be the sole factor in deciding between safety and aesthetics, we have to acknowledge that it does influence our choices, even subconsciously. To protect people and help not only pedestrians but also drivers, I created City Otter. City Otter offers handmade reflective scrunchies designed not only to be worn as a hair accessory but also to be worn as a wristband.
