Welcome 2025
Tuesday 2nd September marked the biggest event in our calendar and the start of a new chapter for over 700 of our incoming students. The Student Welcome acts as a preview of the Belfield campus and supports available. The Access and Lifelong Learning Team along with 80 student Access Leaders introduced our students to campus and student life with a range of tours, ice breakers, activities, quizzes and most importantly ice-cream!
The day celebrated the expectations, hopes, spirit and emerging friendships of our diverse and dynamic student population.
