using BSV basketball court (except between 2-4pm)

The successful completion of the trimester is dependent on all residents showing consideration and

respect for each other.

Your cooperation is sought to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to do well in their exams.

Best of luck to all of you with your exams!

Keeping Res Clean

Remember to keep your kitchen benches and floors clear from clutter

at all times.

This ensures the cleaners are able to wipe down surfaces and mop the

floors as easily as possible.

It is also your responsibility to empty rubbish and recycling into the

shoots (MB) or larger bins (BSV) when they are getting too full. Please

do not wait for the cleaners to empty your bins if they are filling up.

Please also clean up in any common areas such as the recreation

rooms when you are finished using them.

This ensures that you and your fellow residents can live in a hygienic and clean environment.

Party/Noise/Guest-Free Period

Every year on 31 May, WHO and partners mark World No

Tobacco Day, this day highlights the health risks associated with

tobacco use and advocates for effective policies to reduce

tobacco consumption.

Tobacco kills nearly 6 million people each year, of which more

than 600 000 are non-smokers dying from breathing

second-hand smoke, this year the campaign is focussing on

raising tobacco related taxes.

Deakin University is now Smoke Free, this means that students

and staff cannot smoke on campus (residences is exempt at this point), we need to remind people that

they must move off campus to smoke to ensure that all people can enjoy a smoke free environment

when walking around the campus.

There are activities planned for next week on each campus in the lead up

to World No Tobacco Day and we are asking students to Take the Pledge

and make our campuses healthier.

If you are considering quitting but need to talk to someone the campus

nurses at Deakin Medical Centre are QUIT Educators and are more than

happy to provide free, non-judgemental appointments to work with you on

the quit journey.

As you enter the study period prior to exams, you need to stay

healthy and well. Please remember that the flu vaccination is

provided free for students living on residences. Flu is more than just a

bad cold and can cause severe illness leading to absence from work

and study.

Visit the Deakin medical centre on campus or make an

online appointment to see the campus nurse for vaccination, it is

easy and free.

There are a number of student services to assist you prepare for exams, remember it is never too late to

get organised, the Study Skills team provides face to face appointments as well as online resources to

assist you to get prepared. The Counselling service on campus also provides confidential and free

appointments for students all year round, as well as resources and information available online including

Exam confidence and Stress management.
