That's a wrap on our Mexican Fiesta Social Lunch! ๐ฎ๐
What an afternoon at the Gold Coast Student Hub - good food, great company, and live music to set the vibe. It was so lovely to see so many students come together, take a break from study, and enjoy a proper fiesta! ๐ถโจ
Tacos, Mexican bingo - and a whole lot of new friendships made. This is exactly what student life on the Gold Coast is all about. ๐
See you at the next one.

What a day learning all about our incredible city! ๐๏ธ
It all kicked off with a Mayor's Leadership Conversation at the Hub with Mayor Tom Tate before our MSAs headed to the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre for a behind-the-scenes venue tour. The day rounded out with an insightful city workshop covering everything from council structure and local programs like NaturallyGC and the Active & Healthy Program, to key industry insights from Invest Gold Coast. โจ
We wonder what the MSA's will be getting up to June?

This week is National Reconciliation Week ๐ค๐ค๐
The theme for 2026 is All In - a reminder that reconciliation isn't a one-off moment, it's something we commit to every single day. Whether that's listening to First Nations voices, learning about Country, or simply showing up with respect and an open heart - every action counts.
At the Gold Coast Student Hub, we're proud to stand alongside our community in support of reconciliation. ๐ฟ
