Live music and free food – Students welcomed at HE O Week

With classes kicking off this week, we take a look at how HE O Week welcomed new and returning students.

Freebies, prizes, live music and lunches greeted RMIT students as they arrived on campus last week.

With week-long O Week activations held across the three Melbourne Campuses, there was something for everyone.

Medibank were on hand to offer some relaxing massages, free merch and delicious ice cream, while RMIT staff were available to help settle some of the nerves for commencing students.

First-year student Vanessa, who visited the City campus for the first time on Wednesday, said getting involved with O Week has helped get her mind ready for the semester.

“I’ve left it pretty late to get myself organised!” She said.

“Coming here today though and speaking to staff about getting myself ready has helped me relax a bit.”

It’s also been great to meet other new students to know that I’m not alone.

Bowen Street Party

A jam packed O Week concluded with a party at the City campus on Thursday afternoon. 

Students embraced the festival style atmosphere with headliners YO! MAFIA and Drax Project taking to the stage.

Away from the music, students enjoyed a lawn games, sponsor giveaways and a makeshift roller-skating rink courtesy of Rolla Bae.
