As most of you know we had an impromptu Easter egg hunt on the last Thursday where Fiddis, Michael, Hannah and I had the fun job of scattering hundreds of eggs around Deakin, I still think there’s some in the Laundry. In pairs with one partner blind folded residents collected chocolate from everywhere it was a funny thing to watch.

Honourable mentions: to all the girls that collected Easter eggs throughout the gardens in high heels.

Jillian: for taking out the chocolate eating competition (pretty impressive chocolate eating skills!

Movie nights : Don't forget: every Thursday night is movie night in the loft with our highest attendance this month of 25 people (pretty good on a Nott night)

Quote of the month: from the Dalai Lama: Unless we know the value of other religious traditions, it is difficult to develop respect for them. Mutual respect is the foundation of genuine harmony.
