TYPE TAGLINE HERE 2014 SOCIAL COMMITTEE IS COMING!

Wild Warrnambool is back!

Second week of classes ticked off! Well done to you all for surviving so far. This week saw study sessions, students sleeping, snotty noses, new jobs, sunshine, sneaky mice, a little rain, the luck of the Irish and many smiles. Not much news from the office - all the staff have commented on what a nice and polite bunch of students we have on res. You have all impressed with the condition in which you have been keeping the common areas - keep up the good work! For all those heading home or out of town this weekend please drive safe, those staying in town, stay warm, stay dry. Shaping up like a good weekend to get some study done..

Thanks for reading our second edition, the word on the street is volume #3 is going to be a keeper. We have about 25 go getters taking on roles within the social council so sign up and get involved.

Best regards, and come on the Hawks!

Our heads of committees and their area of expertise are as follows.

Wednesday 26 March. 2014

You Da Man - LT - G.1.01 17.30 – 19.00pm

You the Man’ (YTM) is an American theatre-based program for bystander engagement and violence prevention. YTM has been in use in the US since 2002, in a variety of settings: secondary school (grades 9 to 12), tertiary education, workplaces and communities. Data from an ongoing longitudinal study in secondary schools in the US has shown that the intervention positively affects knowledge, attitudes and behaviour in the short, medium and longer term.

Participation in this research project is voluntary. If you do not want to take part you do not have to. If you decide to take part and later change your mind, you can drop out of the project at any stage. This is a great opportunity only being offered to Warrnambool Residence students.
