Take some time out for you during DUSA Wellness Week
Well, it’s been quite a trimester so far! Nothing has been as we expected at the start of 2020, but we can all be proud of the way our community has adjusted to online learning and taken up the challenge of living in a COVID-19 world.
So now it’s time for a well-earned break! During DUSA Wellness Week (Sunday 17 to Friday 22 May), make sure you take the time to close the books and focus on your overall wellbeing – encompassing your physical, mental, financial and social welfare.
We’re running a series of awesome online events to help you de-stress, take a breather and re-focus in the lead-up to final assessments and exams. These activities cover everything from workouts and e-sports to financial advice and trivia nights.
So however you want to relax, you’ll find something on the DUSA Wellness Week website – check out the full program online. This includes specific dates, times and how to access each virtual event.
