Our Pulse workshops and activities will help you master the life/study balance – you’ll get organised, stay grounded and be more emotionally aware – you know, Adulting 101. These tools are super handy as you complete your degree and, TBH, for the rest of your life!
We’ll cover:
We all know binge-watching Netflix is awesome (obviously!), but staying active is so important to your physical and mental health and overall wellbeing. Staying active helps to improve sleep, boost concentration and reduce stress – so we’ve created a bunch of free activities to help you stay active on campus while you study!
You know what is also good for the soul? Connecting with others and your community! It plays a big part in maintaining positive wellbeing and there are heaps of ways to get involved:
As always, these activities will remain free of charge or as heavily subsidised, as they continue to be funded by SSAF.
Manage stress, practice mindfulness, learn how to adult, free sport – there’s always an event or workshop happening to help support your mental and physical health. And if you want to help others and spread positive awareness around mental health, you can help us do that too!
Give your body a much-needed break from Uni and enjoy some free snacks before class!

Remember! Don’t just rely on websites – face to face counselling or support is important too. If you are concerned with what is going on in your life or your personal welfare, please make an appointment to speak to someone.
