Band Comp UPDATE

Quick update on the 2012 Hunter TAFE heat of the National Campus Band Comp.

Due to an insufficient number of entrants, we've decided it isn't feasible to run this heat. The judges will be assessing applicants at their own local gigs and a band will be chosen to represent Hunter TAFE and progress to the next stage of the competition.

2012 O-Week Wrap-up

Another year, another series of successful Orientation Week events in the bag. As classes returned for the year, the Student Association was on hand to greet lots of new faces on campus and to welcome back plenty of returning faces.

Our week 1 events at Newcastle saw a massive turnout, despite questionable weather, with students treated to some of the finest musicians newcastle has to offer, as well as a free bbq and giveaways courtesy of the Bookshop, and more freebies, fun and information from our community partners.

Cycle much?

Any keen cyclists keen to have their say on cycleways and other issues related to bicycle users?

TAFE is linking up with Newcastle University Bicycle Users Group and Newcastle Cycleways Movement to help look at safer cycleway locations, help out with a Newcastle Bikefest event, and assist with other promotional and/or cycleway and transport related activities that may arise (eg. staff/student cycling surveys and/or initiating a Campus/TAFE cycling group).
