Staying on Residences in T3

Being Secure on Res If a door is left open, chocked open or left unlocked then property and people are at
risk. There is only one way to prevent this and that is to LOCK UP.
Please take careful note of the following friendly, but important reminders about staying safe
on res!:
Ensure your unit is fully secure — please do not chock ANY doors open.
Lock up your bedroom when you are not using it.
Walk briskly and confidently to and from campus.
Avoid places where there are few people. Stick to
well-lit pathways and avoid dimly-lit parts of campus.
If you are walking at night, never walk alone. Instead, walk
with a group or call Deakin Security for an escort.
If you are staying back late at campus, ensure that you
inform your family or friends of where you are and when
you can be expected home.
Never be afraid to call Deakin Security to escort you to your car. Store the Deakin
Security number in your mobile phone or download the SafeZone app.
http://www.safezoneapp.com/
Don’t hesitate to report an incident to security, police or both depending on the nature of
the incident and where it happened.
Deakin Security Officers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure the safety of all
Deakin students.
Deakin Security is a free service and if ever you feel you need them, please don’t hesitate to
ring 222 (from an internal phone) or 1800062579 (any other phone) or via Safezone

Resi Movie Night
R U OK Day R U OK Day is a national day of action on Thursday September 11 to remind us all of the
importance of asking our mates, colleagues and family "are you ok?"
If your gut says something’s not quite right with someone, chances are that they might
need a bit of extra support from the people around them.
They might be acting a bit differently, seem to have a lot on their plate, or simply aren’t
themselves. Don’t ignore those signs but instead take some time to start a conversation
and ask….“R U OK?”

It’s Week 8! That means that time of Trimester when things are very busy and you are
probably thinking that the end is a long way away! It is quite normal to feel that there is
too much to do and difficult to know where to start. Are you wondering:
How to prepare for seminars
How to research for upcoming assessments
How to write and reference your assignments
How and when to prepare for exams
How to do better (The feedback on the last essays
was not what you expected.)
Any other questions?
No matter what questions or doubts you have, don’t wait until the last minute! Ask now!
Peer mentors at the Students Helping Students Drop-in Station pride themselves in
helping with ‘whatever’.
Just go the drop-in station at your campus or online. Talk to friendly students who can
assist with all your queries. http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study-support/peer-
learning
