2021 Freshers Hit the Ground Running at O'Week
It’s our favourite time of year again at St Catherine’s College and we’re so lucky to be able to welcome our new residents to our community. As always, the first week at College has been jam packed with events and activities to help everyone get settled into their new home.
Learning Something New
Every year our new residents participate in workshops that can provide helpful skills for living away from home, establishing a strong, safe community and becoming more culturally aware. Our new residents also had an introduction to the world of entrepreneurship with Bloom, and the exciting opportunities ahead of them this year.
Our new arrivals also perfected their Fresher Dance Routine and performed it on Friday to a crowd of supporters as well as all the other Colleges. Check out the video here ( don’t have your volume up too high, our supporters cheer loudly)!
Making New Friends
College can be daunting at first, but with so many friendly faces around, our Freshers settled in quickly. The start of the week involved a welcome lunch and a chance to bond with other residents in your wing. Throughout the week there were plenty of chances to meet everyone, with lawn games at Matilda Bay, coffee crawls, and heaps more.
Having a Blast
O’Week wouldn’t be O’Week without some celebrations! Our new residents put on their finest attire for a Cocktail Garden party on Monday, and got their Glow on for the Back to College Party on Friday.
For Wednesday night shenanigans, gone are the days of Captain Stirling. Our new residents got the chance to meet friends from all along College Row at the new Hampden Hotel.
We have had such an amazing week with all our new residents and we’re so glad to see so many returners back for another great year. While last year had its ups and downs, 2021 is off to a fantastic start.
