On the 4th of March students will have the option of kerb-side recycling. An essential part of kerb-side recycling is being able to correctly sort out what is recyclable rubbish and what is not.

The last of the StudentCard Orientation competitions will be the Grand Final of the Burger King Eating Competition on Monday 24 Feb. OPSA's StudentCard Orientation also includes other free entry events including performers Monkey Knife Fight, Luke Hurley, Francissca Griffin, The Patsies, Galu Pasifika, MP Metiria Turei, and $4 jugs on Fridays...
