The Panic - Term 3 Week 3 Newsletter

Sun 08 May 2022 Newsletter

It's happening again....

I, for one, am totally prepared for the exam period starting next week.

๐Ÿ”ฅ BBQ

๐Ÿ•— Monday 2:30pm ๐Ÿ“ Now at Windmill Hill

You lot sure loved the idea of this! The days are definitely warm now, and we feel like doing a BBQ. This is going to be on campus at Windmill Hill on Monday 9th at 2:30 PM. In order to get the right amount of food we will be needing signups, which have now closed.

The food will be free (I love sponsorship money) as well as a few soft drinks. Hope to see everyone there!

THIS IS NOW ON WINDMILL HILL (SOMEWHAT NEAR THE DINOS)

โšก Third Year Project Talks
