Variety is the spice of life

Throughout semester 1 there were plenty of activities organised by our staff and students to keep everyone entertained.

For International Women’s Day, cupcakes were ordered and the Dining Hall was decorated with posters of inspiring women. This venue also played host to the ICAC Trivia this year, with our team placing fourth.

The theme for the tern was ‘DadCore’, calling for everyone to pull out their best caps, flannos and shorts to recreate the look of a classic, middle-aged dad. As usual, people got very creative with the theme.

Another themed event was the UC Ball. This time it was centred around Las Vegas, with everyone getting decked out in their finest to head to the Crown Palladium for a night of dinner, drinks and dancing. This was followed by an after party at the Royal Melbourne Hotel.

At Easter, the kitchen whipped up heaps of fresh hot cross buns and cupcakes, and those staying on campus over the break got to participate in an Easter egg hunt.

A few dinner swaps took place with other colleges and in May our own kitchen held a French themed dinner. With croissants and croque monsieur at breakfast, right through to salad nicoise, coq au vin, ratatouille and crème brûlée in the evening, this was a real treat.

As usual, it’s been great to see such a variety of events on offer, and so many students who are willing to get involved.

Games night fun
