You might remember back in November when we launched our Student Self-Care Movement - a reminder that, through all the pressures of uni life, your wellbeing matters.

Well, as exams and deadlines ramp up, we’re bringing it back for Phase Two. And this time, it’s all about making sure you’re looking after yourself during the exam season.

✨From Wednesday 07 – Thursday 22 May, we’re here to support you with free self-care bags, motivational quotes across campus, and a chance to chat with your SU Officers whenever you need a friendly face.

🤔What’s in the bag?

Earlier this year, we asked you what wellbeing support you’d find helpful during assignment and exam season, and we listened. Inside your self-care bag, you’ll find:

• Noodles🍜
• Chewing gum
• Pens and post-it notes✍️
• A personal promise note🪷
• A motivational quote card (pass it on to a friend and spread the care)

 

Whether it’s a quiet moment to reset or a boost of encouragement, we’ve packed these bags with small things that make a big difference.
