Are you Comfortable?
It's the end of week three, and hopefully you're settling in to the rhythms of studying, learning, and growing in your classes. If this is new for you, we get that it can be a bit daunting. But, there are heaps of resources at your disposal that can help you make the most of your studies. Keep reading to learn about workshops, library resources, and more that can help you excel.
As always, feel free to reach out to any of us on staff. We're here for you!
First Steps video resources on CareyOnline
Also, we are excited to let you know that we have made several of our First Steps resource videos available to all students. So, if you are a CareyLocal student or no longer a part of a First Steps course, you can check out our helpful tutorials on how to use the library, search or e-books and journals, reference, and more! Check out the First Steps videos!

Academic Committee Student Reps
These three wonderful students (left-to-right in the photo above: Herman Yeung, Katie Cuttriss, and Judith Thomas) are your Student Academic Representatives on Academic Committee. The committee meets once every four to six weeks during the year. The student reps are there to represent you and participate in the discussions, evaluation, and monitoring of all academic processes and policies here at Carey.
They are invited to table any issues, present feedback, and be the student voice on the committee. If you have any feedback or ideas about how to make studying at Carey even better than it is, feel free to email Herman, Katie, and Judith or chat to them if you see them around.

Mission Week
Next week is Mission Week, an opportunity for us to reflect together as a community on the myriad of ways we are called to participate in the Mission of God. During the week
there will be "story spots" dotted around Carey where you can learn about (and be inspired by) some of our past and current Arotahi people who are engaged in mission.
We will also have guests coming in during Monday and Tuesday lunches. On Monday we will be joined by Jay Matenga (Mission Interlink, WEA Global Witness), and
on Tuesday, our very own team from upstairs at Arotahi. These will be great conversations.
