Receiving the flu vaccine earlier in the season provides protection throughout the influenza season. Therefore, it is important to get vaccinated as soon as possible to ensure that you stay healthy all winter long.

The flu vaccine is available for free at the Directorate of Health and Wellness for staff and students, while stocks last.

The ISRC recently hosted a Mental Health Campaign and Exam Support Initiative at TUT South Campus to stand alongside students during the demanding exam season.

Understanding the challenges many students face, the initiative provided sandwiches, coffee and tea to ensure that no student attends class or writes exams on an empty stomach. Beyond the refreshments, the event created a safe and supportive space where students could access guidance, encouragement and information on where to seek help when feeling overwhelmed.

The Student Representative Council highlighted that hunger, stress and exam anxiety often affect students’ concentration and academic performance, making support initiatives like these more important than ever.

Together, we continue building a caring campus community where student wellbeing matters.
