University is a great place for reading and learning! How about putting aside some time for learning about Jesus? 'Reading about Jesus' is an opportunity to join with others and read through the Bible’s accounts of Jesus, to discuss and learn together. Held on Wednesday of each week, 1:00pm to 2:00pm, via Microsoft Teams or in 1C100.Anyone is welcome, you may be a long-time Christian, or just someone (of other faith or no faith) who would like to read about Jesus with others.We are currently holding the activity online using Microsoft Teams and also meeting in-person at the same time in 1C100, as a "mixed-mode".If you are interested in joining the activity please contact the organiser, Craig Johnson, to confirm the online details.

Sometimes it is hard to meet new people, or to find opportunities to practice speaking in English. We wanted to provide a chance to help you with this. Our English Conversation Club is an informal time, not a structured class. In a small group we talk about a different topic each meeting, with a native English speaker. Improve your English by practicing your speaking and listening, and make some new friends along the way! Anyone is welcome join this activity! The English Conversation Club is a free activity especially for international students or visiting scholars from overseas. But anyone who wants to practice their English is welcome.We are currently holding the English Conversation Club online using Microsoft Teams and at the same time meeting in-person in 1C100, as a "mixed-mode".If you are interested in joining the activity please contact the organiser, Craig Johnson, to confirm online details.
