Come along to one of USASA's Working on Wellness events in October and take some time to focus on your mental health and wellbeing.
Held at all metropolitan campuses as well as the Whyalla campus, here's a sneak peek of what you can expect:
• Enjoy a free lunch
• Play a game with your mates
• Unwind with some arts and crafts
• Cuddle or pat animals at the petting zoo
• Release some tension in the rage room
You can also grab a free goodie bag from your USASA Space on campus, available throughout the month at all metropolitan and regional campuses. |

Free movie night featuring Encanto

Grab your UniSA friends, rug up and come along to our free outdoor movie night, featuring free popcorn, coffee, hot chocolate and fairy floss! There will be lots of seating and blankets to keep you warm.
We've tallied your votes, and we will be screening Encanto – an animated movie about a Colombian teenage girl whose family is losing their magic as she sets out to save them and their magical house.
Whether or not you've seen the movie, this is a great opportunity to take a break from your studies, chill out and hang out with your mates. |

Student tips: Being more inclusive
|
|
Elijah Hartshorne is a Bachelor of Creative Industries student who is a queer trans man with a regional background. In addition to being the Treasurer for the University of South Australia Rainbow Club, he is also one of UniSA Allies.
"I am an Ally because I believe it is important for Allies to be diverse in their representation. It is important that I use my voice for folks that are unable to."
Here are some of Elijah's tips on how to be more inclusive in your allyship. |
|
 |
|
Always use gender-neutral language when referring to people, such as folks, y’all, everyone, friends, etc. |
|
|
|
|
|
Don’t assume someone’s gender. If you are unsure about what pronouns a person uses, feel free to ask “What are your pronouns?”. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you’re organising an event, make sure that the venue is queer-friendly and wheelchair accessible. Feel free to ask around and see what queer people’s experiences with the venue have been. |
|
|
|
|
|
Keep learning! There are so many queer and gender-diverse content creators with various lived experience who love to share their stories. |
|
|
|
If you have any questions around gender and sexual diversity or need some peer support on these matters, you can contact Elijah or other UniSA Allies who are part of the UniSA Ally Network. |
