Editor’s Note Hey Menzies, The past week has been hectic with Love Week events and competitions. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making the week so memorable. This issue is filled with photos from all of the love week events as well as everything else that has happened at college.

While Love week was definitely the highlight of the past ~fortnight, there’ve been a bunch of other events happening here at RMC. RAs, SRAs, and Deans put on a wonderful evening of block suppers, Exec held our fourth formal dinner with Christmas in Winter, and residents travelled into the city to check out the Powerhouse museum.

Ballroom Dancing With almost 20 years of dancing experience, Anna Single spent the evening teaching the basics of ballroom dancing. While everyone started at different levels, the night ended with everyone dancing together in perfect synch (even if that dance was the Nutbush.)

Be the Next Voice of RMC While this year is by no means coming to a close, we are starting to prepare things for the end of 2022 and for 2023 (yes, we are that organised.)

As we go into our third year, Susanna and I will be giving up our editorship of The Voice. As such, college will be looking for new people to take on the job.

The Voice is, in our opinion, the best job on campus. It involves little more than going to college events and a basic knowledge of Google Slides. It’s a great thing to do with a friend, so we recommend doing it in a pair.

If you’re interested, let us know! We’re open to answering any of your questions.

If you have any so if you have photos, good ones, bad ones, or anything in between, please send them to us over Facebook so we can feature them.

Here are some examples from 2019’s Echo.
