Queer<br />
Viv Stewart & Jarvis Sparks<br />
The queer officers go to canberra!! We took 19 delegates to<br />
Queer Collaborations, the annual student run national queer<br />
conference. A week of attending workshops, learning about<br />
yet another aspect of your own gender and/or sexuality,<br />
meeting wonderful new and different queer students and<br />
nitpicking over motions on conference floor.<br />
Furthermore, we’ve been planning the events for semester<br />
2 and looking at which workshops to include in this<br />
semester’s queer week - week 7. Our weekly events will begin<br />
again in week 1 of so come join us for a drink at queer beers<br />
on Wednesday 4-6 at st. John’s bar to say goodbye to the<br />
holidays.<br />
Women’s<br />
Ellen Perriment & Sophie Vassallo<br />
We’re back for another semester and we’ve been as busy as<br />
ever! Over the semester break we took a 21 person delegation<br />
to the Network Of Women Students Australia Conference<br />
(NOWSA) down in Tasmania. It was an excellent week<br />
that gave us a chance to meet other fantastic people and<br />
women’s officers from around the country as well as being<br />
able to dedicate a whole week to the Women’s movement.<br />
With a new semester starting, we’ll be preparing ourselves for<br />
our two biggest events in this half of the year: Women’s Week<br />
in the second half of the semester, and Blue Stockings Week,<br />
which is being run with the ever appreciated collaboration of<br />
the Education (Public Affairs) department. We’ve got plenty<br />
in the works for both of them and they promise to be an<br />
awesome time. As always, the Women’s Lounge is open and<br />
both Sophie and Ellen, though working hard, always have<br />
time for a chat in the office next door. Have a great semester<br />
everyone!<br />

Welfare<br />
Rebecca Adams & Jesse Cameron<br />
We hope everyone’s been enjoying a well-earned break,<br />
hibernating for the winter in front of a fire, with hot chocolate,<br />
a good book... Ahh we wish! We have been hella busy over<br />
at Welfare with exciting plans for semester 2! The usual<br />
favourites Free Food Mondays, Survival Centre and the<br />
Secondhand Book Fair (4th and 5th August in the Airport<br />
Lounge!) will be back. And excitingly some free fitness<br />
classes, more free food (who doesn’t love that?!), some<br />
upgrades for the Survival Centre, and the beloved Welfare Ball<br />
will be some highlights for this semester.<br />
Activities<br />
Tahnee Burgess & Jake Krelle<br />
Activities has had a busy semester. We’ve had more events<br />
than ever before and are on track to have even more<br />
happening the rest of the year.<br />
AXP kicked off at the Bottom End on the 25th of June and<br />
was a great night with cheaper drinks and more DJs on all 3<br />
floors than ever before. Only complaint of the night was that<br />
the last song of the night Sandstorm was cut short. As an<br />
apology here it is in lyric form.<br />
