Deakin News

 Hi Deakinites,

Welcome all new residents and returning residents to Semester 2! I hope everyone had a great few weeks of holidays! Myself, I spend 2 weeks in New Zealand travelling with contiki through the North and South Island! It was totally amazing, highlights including skydiving, canyon swing and Milford Sound! I would recommend a trip to NZ for all those internationals in Aus especially since it is so close!!

Second Floor New Deakin had a fabulous floor outing on Friday 26th March. Both wings joined in the party as we headed off to Sophia's Pizza restaurant for an evening of good food and socialising. Everyone ate far too much and got to know their neighbours. Sam Cross hit on the waitress while Pedro rubbed chocolate cake in his face. Cheryl discovered a love for photography and Kevin told me his daily adventures of going kite shopping and watching Pirates.
