On 29 October, Chendu study hub invited students to participate in the bowling billiard ball and tosophily sports activities. The hub manager Liz ZENG shared that students were more than stressed during the final examination period and the sports activity distracted students' pressured minds away. She further explained:
"Being together is of paramount importance for students especially during the finals. We aim to encourage students to participate in the sports activities so that students can not only get some physical and mind relief, but they can also have opportunity to join the ANU community and share their stress or feelings to other students. We hope that students can thus get to know that they are not alone and we are always here to help."

Therefore, we study hub not only provide students with the opportunity to play Aussie sports games, but we also prepare some Halloween hats, makeups and clothes so that students can be more engaged into the holiday ambiance and therefore get some relief during finals."
