To welcome (and welcome back!) students, staff and the community, UOW has partnered with Yours & Owls to bring five days of free music acts and entertainment alongside the traditional O-Week activities. With headline acts from Montaigne, Ziggy Ramo, Alex the Astronaut, and Touch Sensitive, we will be bursting into the new academic year, and invite everyone to celebrate with us!
