π SAFETY TIPS FOR STUDENTS πΉπ«
Your safety always comes first! Whether youβre out socializing or relaxing with friends, be alert and stay smart.

π Never leave your drink unattended. If you have, donβt drink it - order a fresh one!
Your wellbeing matters. Make smart choices and look out for your friends too. πͺ
If you ever feel unsafe or unsure, contact your Canefields Residence team immediately.
