FROM THE STUDENT SERVICES

Alcohol and Wellbeing
|
Alcohol is Australia’s most widely-used recreational drug. So it’s no surprise that many university students also choose to drink alcohol as part of celebrating, socialising, relaxing and having fun.
Just as there are some positive aspects to why people choose to drink alcohol, there is also the flip side when it comes to the effects of alcohol on health and wellbeing.
In our new The Life of BOT choose-your-own-adventure game, help BOT decide whether to go to a pub crawl tonight or stay at home to work on an assignment.
Visit
the UniSA Wellbeing website to click START and play the game, and check out the information and resources to help you be better informed about alcohol consumption and its impact on your wellbeing. |

National Nutrition Week 2019: Try for 5
|
National Nutrition Week 2019 is 13–19 October. The week always coincides with the United Nations’ World Food Day, which takes place on 16 October, and this year the theme is all about how to try for five serves of vegetables each day while also reducing your food waste!
We all know veggies are good for us – we've been getting told for years! Eating a healthy and balanced diet can help reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. But did you know that we throw a lot of good food away?
In
fact, less than 4% of us eat our recommend five serves of vegetables a day, but wasted food makes up more than 1/3 of the contents of the average household bin, and Australians discard up to 20% of the food they purchase. That’s nearly $4000 worth of food per household per year that can end up in landfill, where it breaks down and emits harmful greenhouse gases.
Visit the UniSA Shopping Hacks website and check out our information designed to help you save yourself food, time, and money – it's more simple than you think!
Also
check out the Baptist Care SA Community Food Hub that provides FREE bread, fruit and vegetables, as well as food and essential items at a reduced cost. All you need to do is show your student card. |

|
UniSA is embarking upon a major new alumni initiative and we want you to be a part of it.

Located on campus, these groups are designed to be entertaining and fun, and all participating students will receive $60 on the day. They will last approximately 75 minutes and be independently run.
Make
your voice heard and improve opportunities and experiences for the University’s students and graduates – all while earning a little money!
