WOLVES President’s Report

Dear residents I would like to keep you all up dated on Campus life 2014. The Wolves have a few upcoming events for you all to look forward to. These events are a free study breakfast for all residential students, this will be occurring at 10:30am on Wednesday June 4th in the NRAS downstairs common room. The breakfast will be pancakes and juice which will all be supplied at no cost to you. What better way to get your brain thinking and ready to learn than with free pancakes. After the breakfast I know that you will all be bunkered down cramming in some last minute study before your exams, but remember it is just as important to take a break and relax give yourself time to breathe and think straight. A movie night will be held Saturday June 7th from 7pm onwards on top movie rooms in the NRAS building.

The movies are yet to be confirmed, there will be free popcorn, so relax after the busy week ok exams and bring your blankets, get comfy and enjoy the movies. Up next is Friday the 13th Movie night, we will be having horror movies played in both cinema rooms, again there will be free popcorn and candy supplied at the movies.
