CAREY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 2024 S1 WEEK 11

Getting that work in

Lectures are in full swing, and we’re trusting you are finding them as envigorating as ever. While we are sure you’re planning well for upcoming assessments, don’t forget to check out the 10 Essentials, talk with our Library staff, reach out to your teachers, or contact our staff if you hit a wall or need some critical insight for your work. Also, take care of yourself, and go for a walk every now and then.

We’re here for you, and you can do it!

Support and Wellbeing, and the Student Handbook

It's that time of year where you can easily get bogged down by assessments, due dates, reading, and a lot of other things happning in the semester. Don't forget about our Student Handbook and Support and Wellbeing page, where we detail all the people and processes at Carey that are in place for you. Check them out!

Carey Open Events

Tuesday, 28 May from 9am-3pm is Open Day at Carey. If you are on campus, we encourage you to take a minute and welcome anyone new and share with them how awesome Carey is!

Have a mate register for Open Day so they can know how cool it is to study here too! There’s a draw for a prize for those who bring a friend, and while we can’t say what it is, we can say you’ll love it.

Also, Online Open Evening is Tuesday, 4 June from 7.30-8.45pm. You can tell your friends about our Online Open Evening too, ya know?

Reminder about Due Dates and Extensions—Plan Ahead!

This is just a friendly reminder to check the due dates for assessments, and plan accordingly.

Assessments handed in up to one week after the due date are marked with 10% late penalty; assessments handed in between 7-14 days are marked pass/fail. Assessments handed in after the two-week period normally are not marked and receive a fail grade. So, be on time!

If you need an extension, please talk to your teacher and Neroli, and complete an application for an extension.

Psalms Conference Student Rates

There are still some student-rate tickets for the Psalms conference, but not many! Come along to our Psalms Conference, a three-day participatory event in July, and explore how the Bible’s songbook and prayerbook can inspire Christian worship and shape God’s people here in Aotearoa.

There is also a one-day access ticket if you can’t make the whole conference. The access code for the students discount is ONEDAY, but get your one-day ticket here or click one-day button below to go straight to the promo page.

Need urgent financial help?

Studying can be hard when everything goes well. But when there is an urgent or unexpected financial cost, things get a lot harder. Did you know students can get help from StudyLink for certain expenses?

Check out the StudyLink website to learn more, or contact them directly to learn more.

Karakia was fantastic this week, and we will have Geoff New sharing with us next week. See you Tuesday in the chapel!
