Life in Cradle

Davina Smith - Campus President Cradle Coast

We have a vibrant and energetic program planned to get Cradle Coast’s first semester off to a fun start. Welcome Monday (February 25) kicks off with a huge buffet breakfast outside the TUU office near Graze Café at 8am. The buffet boasts croissants, cereals, fresh fruit and Banjo’s pastries, along with hot and cold drinks available at the café. Drop by, eat, and meet up with new and returning students.

Join us the following Wednesday (February 27) for a walk on the wild side at our Market Day ‘Marvel-ous Mayhem’ where you can mingle with the intoxicating Harley Quinn and her deadpan companion, Deadpool. While you’re feeling naughty brand yourself a glitter tattoo from our resident pirate artist. Grab a BBQ lunch of gourmet sausages, veggie burgers and fresh salad while listening to the sounds provided by Hobart’s very own independent youth station, Edge Radio. Fiona Hilder will teach a yin yoga class and local networking group, the Coasters, are also holding a stall. If all that isn’t convincing enough, there will be several giveaways to help students start their academic year, including reusable items such as cutlery sets and metal straws to help us keep our campus green and sustainable. Look out northwest coast, this year we’re going to be a big deal!

The fun continues well into the second week of the semester. On Tuesday (March 5) we will be celebrating Carnevale, also known as Pancake Tuesday, with masks and a pancake lunch in the courtyard from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Bring your appetite and your creative streak! On Thursday (March 7) the Cradle Coast Campus will be launching its part of the ‘Find the Right Blend’ campaign, a TUU/ SRC initiative aimed at the creation and promotion of a holistically balanced university community environment for all.
