WE HAVE GOOD NEWS!
The End of Semester Party is organised for 15th June next month! This event will be sponsored by Red Bull & Jagermisester! We have also organised a big international dj playing on the night!!
As per usual there will be a pre event on @ Uni Accommodation with Beer Pong & the last Volleyball comp ‘Varsity vs UniCentral’ of the semester with prizes for the winners! The Red Bull dj truck will be playing tracks by the pool all afternoon & we will hopefully be organising wake boarding (if all works out)!

Then there is 2x 57 seater buses taking everyone out to the Woombye Pub for the after party so everyone can enjoy the night and no one is waiting all night to get there (no need to fight for a seat on the bus)!

The theme of the night is ‘CEOs & Corporate Hoes’ so this gives time for the guys to suit up & the ladies to find some nice cocktail dresses! There will be a photographer there on the night so people can have some memories of this semester!

START PREPARING FOR A MASSIVE CELEBRATION @ THE END OF THE SEMESTER
