Puppies and Pancakes

Uni can be pretty stressful at times! Studies by the National Youth Mental Health Foundation found that over 70% of university students report high or very high levels of psychological stress.

In particular, exam block places a huge amount of pressure on students, bringing many weeks of worry and stress. Catching up on weeks’ worth of study, whilst also finishing off that last assignment can be extremely difficult, especially when you are also balancing work and family commitments, and trying to, maintain a social life by heading to some end of semester parties! It is often during this time that we start to get caught up in all the stress, and forget to take care of ourselves. Maintaining a positive headspace and looking after your mental health is extremely important to ensuring your best performance in an exam!

That’s why every exam block, we host four epic days of PUPPIES AND PANCAKES!

It’s been proven that cuddling puppies and other furry animals reduces stress, and that’s why we bring in the AWLQ’s cutest puppies, and Queensland’s furriest farm animals. We also have our friends at the Red Frogs serving up thousands of pancakes drowned in Nutella, and our Guild team serving up hundreds of litres of hot milo, coffee and tea! If that isn’t enough to overcome your exam worries, we also have a ball pit, ping pong table, chill space and free massages!
