Join our international student cricket match and score free Big Bash tickets!
Are you an international student based at Burwood or Geelong? Here’s an event you won’t want to miss!
Cricket season is upon us as we head into the warmer months, so we encourage you to join the DeakinACTIVE team for a fun ‘Come and Try’ afternoon cricket match – it’s a perfect opportunity to meet and connect with other international students at Deakin, and this is a friendly match so all skill levels are welcome. We’ll also include a free ticket for you to see a Big Bash League game afterwards!
This Campus & Beyond event is being held as part of our CONNECT program, which means everything is free and arranged for you. All you have to do is bring along a smile and get ready to make some new friends!
