Prahran campus
The Student Union offices and student lounge are located
on Level 2 of Building U. The first port of call for any
student requiring Union services is the Contact Desk. From
here students can book the Student Union meeting room
(also located on this level), borrow one of the many
magazines for leisure reading and find out information
about the functions and activities of the Union. An
Education Officer is employed at Prahran to look after the
educational needs of Prahran students and follow up any
concerns of students.
We provide two photocopiers for quality copying at the
cheapest rates on campus. The student lounge is a
comfortable and pleasant alternative to the other areas on
the Prahran campus. Daily papers are available so students
can keep up with life outside of the campus.
There are regular activities for students to participate in,
either passively by turning up on the day, or more actively by
helping to organise. These are held both during lunchtimes
and in the evenings, to ensure all students have the
opportunity to relax and mingle with each other. There are a
number of clubs on the Prahran campus and the potential
for more, if students are interested in being involved. The
weekly publication of the Student Union, Swine, is
distributed right across campus and Prahran students are
welcome to participate.
For more information visit the Contact Desk at the top of
the stairs off High Street, level 2 Building U, or phone
522 6724 or 522 6729.

Swinburne Sports Association is an autonomous body that
aims to promote and encourage opportunities in sport,
health and physical recreation to all members of the
Swinburne community. Every student automatically becomes
a member of the Association on enrolment. Staff at
Swinburne are also encouraged to join by paying a small
annual fee.
The Association began in 1969. It is managed by students
and has eight full-time employees across the three
campuses.
Recreations
An extensive and exciting recreation program is offered
continually throughout the year. Activities range in
commitment and complexity. The easiest recreations are the
free on-campus 'one hit wonders' such as face painting, life
games, human fly, circotron and the twelve storey 'BA'
building staircase run. These 'everyone has-a-go' activities are
designed to give you a break and a bit of fun in between
classes.
If you have ever wanted to go ballooning, rafting, learn
sailing, singing, photography or belly dancing then the
recreation short courses may be your style also. The Sports
Association offers over eighty such courses a year which run
mostly in the evenings or weekends for one to two hours
per week. Course costs are significantly subsidised by the
Association making it possible to enrol in an activity which
would normally be too dear.
