Yellow Shirts

O-Week at UNSW is one of the biggest and best orientation weeks in Australia. Every year, around 6,000 new students are welcomed to the University by the friendly faces of the O-Week volunteers.

Every year, approximately 150 enthusiastic volunteers known as Yellow Shirts get the chance to spend one unforgettable week helping incoming students find their feet and have fun at UNSW.

O-Week volunteers are responsible for acting as an information point and successfully running tours and social activities (such as giving out fairy floss and hosting Campus Idol) for new students. Yellow Shirts also contribute to the University's presence at night events.

Being a Yellow Shirt is a great way to develop skills such as team work, leadership, communication and problem solving. Yellow Shirts is a great opportunity to meet people from all over campus and get to help others in a way that can make a lasting difference.
