FUSWA

What's one thing you've learned this semester that surprised you about social work? Drop it in the comments.

Maybe it's:
💡 Something from class
💡 A placement experience
💡 A social issue you hadn't considered before
💡 A skill you're developing
💡 Something that challenged your perspective

Whether you're in first year or preparing to graduate, we'd love to hear from you.

Let's build a space where Social Work students can learn from each other.

We want to know! What made you choose social work and what keeps you going in your studies? Tell us in the comments to help us plan services and events that are the best they can be!

You may have received notification this week of a cyber incident with Canvas occurring across the university. We appreciate how concerning these incidents can be for people. FUSWA's recommendations about managing this are:

1. Keep an eye on official emails from the university about the incident as this is the best way of ensuring you are across what is occurring and what will happen next.
2. If you have questions, ask. Don't stay quiet. We can help you with the best pathway to get an answer if you're not sure where to ask your question.
3. If you need extra support, please reach out to your supports to assist you. We can assist with pathways through the university to get that support if you need it.

Our friends at the Flinders English Club are holding an event! See details below:

Join FEC and FUACC for a relaxed and interactive Aboriginal Art Workshop facilitated by Marra Dreaming, where art meets storytelling and culture.

In this session, you’ll have the opportunity to:

🖌 Paint on canvas while learning about Aboriginal art styles, symbols, and meanings

🧶 Engage in a narrative approach to learning, where artists share stories and cultural knowledge behind their work

🪃 Explore and interact with a collection of traditional Aboriginal artefacts, including boomerangs, coolamons, clapsticks, ochre paints, woven baskets, shell necklaces, emu feathers, and kangaroo skin

✨ No experience needed — just come along, create, and learn!

📅 Date: Friday 22/05/2026
⏰ Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Flinders University City Campus, Level 1 - Welcome Hub
