💛 Checking in matters

It’s easy to get caught up in life, but today, R U OK? Day reminds us to pause and ask - even a simple “Are you OK?” can make a meaningful difference.

At UC Sydney Hills, we’re committed to supporting both students and staff - academically, socially, and emotionally. Take a moment to check in with your peers, colleagues, or family today. That small act of care can help someone feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Let’s make checking in a habit, not just a day. Together, we’re stronger. 💛

Connecting theory with professional practice. 🩺

Professional placements are an important part of the Nursing student experience at the University of Canberra Sydney Hills.

Through placement, students have opportunities to apply their knowledge in real healthcare environments, develop practical skills and gain experience working within professional settings.

Here’s a glimpse of our Nursing students putting their learning into practice on placement.

🩺 Preparing for the next step in their Nursing journey.

Our recent Nursing Career Expo gave UC Sydney Hills students the opportunity to connect with industry professionals, hear practical career advice and learn more about preparing for graduate roles.

It was a valuable chance to ask questions, gain insights and start thinking about the transition from university study into the nursing profession. 💙

Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their knowledge with our students!

What could your next step in Early Childhood Education look like? 🎓

We recently welcomed 49 students from KCA Education to our campus for a Campus Experience Day, giving them the opportunity to explore where their studies could take them next.

Students toured the campus, met our team and learned more about the pathway to the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (Birth to Five) at UC Sydney Hills.

It was great to welcome KCA Education to campus and share more about continuing their studies in Early Childhood Education. 💙

Thanks for spending the day with us, KCA students. We hope to see you back on campus soon! 👋

Some of the best student memories are made outside the classroom. 🌏✨

From world-famous attractions to hidden local favourites, every weekend is an opportunity to discover somewhere new and experience more of what Sydney has to offer.

Looking for inspiration for your next adventure? Check out this reel from Sydney.com and start planning your next weekend. 📍

After all, studying abroad is about more than earning a degree – it's about creating experiences, building friendships and making memories that last a lifetime.

What a way to kick off the semester! 🚌

Our Semester 2 students had a fantastic start to university life on the O-Week Canberra Roadtrip, where they joined the wider University of Canberra community at the Bruce campus for two days of connection, discovery and fun.

From making new friends and experiencing O-Week activities to exploring some of Canberra's most iconic landmarks, the trip was a great opportunity to immerse themselves in university life and connect with the wider UC community.

We hope everyone came home with great memories, new friendships and excitement for the journey ahead.

Different locations, one UC community. 💙

🦎 Did you know we had some very special guests during Orientation Week?

As part of our Zootopia experience, students had the chance to get up close with a range of fascinating reptiles right here on campus!

From snakes to lizards, it was a fun way to break the ice, spark conversations and add something a little different to the Orientation Week experience. 🐍

At UC Sydney Hills, Orientation is also about creating opportunities to connect, try something new and get involved in campus life from the start. 💙

Would you have been brave enough to hold one? 👀

Campus tour? ✔️ Support services? ✔️ New friendships? ✔️ Orientation Week 🎓🌏

Our Semester 2 students recently came together for Orientation Week, getting their first taste of campus life before classes got underway.

From navigating the campus and learning where to find support, to meeting our staff and making new connections, the week gave students important information and resources for the semester ahead.

It was great to see the campus coming to life with questions, conversations and plenty of activity throughout the week.

We’re excited to welcome our newest students and look forward to supporting them throughout their studies. 💙

Need a little extra support with your Nursing studies this semester? Meet Felix, Hillary, China and Rajan. 👋

Our Nursing Student Tutors are here to help throughout the semester, sharing their knowledge, study tips and encouragement along the way.

As high-achieving Nursing students, they know that sometimes a tip, a different explanation or a little encouragement from a peer can make a difference.

At UC Sydney Hills, we believe the best learning happens when students support one another. 💙

Join us in giving Felix, Hillary, China and Rajan a warm welcome this semester! 👋
