(Activities) Address

The 2023 Activities Portfolio has strived to build upon the success of previous years, and elevate the quality, enjoyability, and inclusivity of all initiatives. We have seen strong engagement with new and old events, and we wish to extend our appreciation to all those who have taken an interest in the Activities Portfolio. Holistically, we have placed a significant emphasis on ensuring accessibility is prioritised at all stages of an event’s planning and execution We have consistently drawn guidance from the recently introduced UTS LSS Grievance Policy, to best serve our member community with initiatives that are welcoming to all.

First Year Law Camp

With tickets selling out in under three minutes, our annual First Year Law Camp was nothing short of a great success. One hundred UTS Law students embarked on a jam-packed weekend at Broken Bay, during which they enjoyed activities including a beach bonfire, Amazing Race competition, and of course, a Lawchella-themed party. Friendships were made, bonds were strengthened, and these have proven invaluable to our First Year cohort.

LUCIE VAYRIOT

We thank our team of enthusiastic, driven, and conscientious leaders, who contributed to the weekend’s overall success As a part of prioritising the health, safety, and wellbeing of members, these leaders were provided with new and improved training opportunities to equip them with the skills and knowledge required.

Start Of Semester Parties

Held at Sydney’s well-adored Cargo Bar, our Start of Semester Party 2023: Y2K The Night Away attracted record numbers of attendance. This event mixed UTS Law with Y2K with our members dancing all night long Our First Year cohort also joined in the fun, having started their night at our First Year Law Drinks which was hosted at The Loft, one of UTS’ on campus bars

Law Cruise

As always, our Law Cruise was an unmissable event. This year, the theme was ‘Sailing with the Circus’, which saw ringleaders, acrobats, clowns, and more dancing the night away in style There is no better way to relax with fellow students and take in the Sydney sights, than by joining us for our annual Law Cruise. We cannot wait for next year!

Sip And Sing

This Semester saw the second iteration of our much-loved Buddy Project: Sip and Sing Night! In collaboration with the Education Portfolio, Junior and Senior Buddies joined us for a night of quality karaoke down the road from UTS at Side Bar. The theme was ‘Rhyme Without Reason’, and we loved seeing everyone get involved and mingle with people outside their usual cohort.

Social Sports

There have been great opportunities for our members to get active, keep fit, and meet like-minded people through our Sports programs. We entered a Mixed Futsal and Basketball team in the weekly Social Sports competition held on campus, with both teams making it to the Finals! A massive congratulations goes out to both teams, and we hope to see you all back next Semester!

Kickstart Gym Program

One of the best-value programs offered to our members is our Kickstart Gym Program which runs weekly each semester. This Semester’s participants took part in small group sessions run by a personal trainer at one of our on campus gyms The classes are designed to be flexible to each individual’s own abilities and goals, so everyone can get involved no matter their previous fitness experience!
