The Learning and Teaching Unit has expanded the Family support network to assist international students and their families connect with other students and people from their local community.
From Thursday 6th August, sessions will be held every fortnight from 2pm - 4pm. You can come into the Learning and Teaching Unit, City East, Level 2, Room P2-40 (Playford Building) with your family members and meet other family members of International students. These sessions are a great opportunity to socialise, share ideas and talk about your experience of living in Adelaide. To express your interest in the program or find more information, please contact your nearest Learning and Teaching Unit.
Students will be advised through the student portal about additional activities for the Family support network in 2009/2010.
If you have any questions about family support, please contact the Learning and Teaching Unit on your campus.
