Catch up on COVID

Updated guidelines for residential students

Minor changes to our residences stay-at-home orders have been made to align with recent changes to ACT lockdown restrictions.

Sneezing or wheezing? Don’t get sprung this spring

With COVID and pollen both in the air, it is vital that we don't assume that our symptoms are related to allergies.

Don't turn your 5 into 25

It's great news for our wellbeing that we can now meet outdoors with a small group. But remember to use common sense when deciding who to meet, and avoid meeting with different groups every day - this increases your risk of exposure to COVID-19.
