What Activities and Events will be there?

We’ll have large scale activities set up to verse friends or get your heart rate up, where in the past it’s ranged from interactive inflatables, obstacle courses and other large-scale activities open to anyone interested to play. 

If you're looking for something on the calmer side, O-Week offers many unique activities and events that let you have fun on campus, like arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, trivia, or even free food (shhhh fairy floss). There’s so much you can check out, which will eventually be outlined on the day-by-day schedule. 

The fun doesn’t stop after daytime at O-Week – notable night events make for a highlight at O-Week. Ranging from movie nights to live acts and games, these will all be rounded off by the O-Week Party on Thursday, which has been a massive success each year. These night events require booking tickets in advance, so make sure you stay updated by registering for O-Week and following our social media to not miss out. 

Check out the O-Week highlights for past activities and events we’ve run at O-Week, and get keen for what’s being organised for O-Week 2025!
