Showcase of International Students and International Links

Staff of the Faculty will also showcase links they have with overseas countries. A photographic display has also been arranged.

To make your mark on the map students just need to advise the staff of the Faculty of Health & Behavioural Sciences Student Service Centre who are only too willing to assist students.

The culmination of the week will be an Aussie BBQ for students from the Faculty of Health & Behavioural Sciences and students will be asked to wear traditional dress.
