The No-Noise/Guest/Party/Alcohol-Free Period still applies. This will finish at 4pm Fri-

day 23rd Oct.

The main priority for student accommodation is to allow students the best

opportunity for academic success.

Part of allowing that is to make sure that residents are in the best conditions possible

to prepare for their exams. During this period, the following applies on residence:

No loud noise at anytime of the day

No guests permitted

No open alcohol in communal areas. Communal areas are any place that is

not your own room.

Basketball court open from 2pm – 4pm ONLY

Breaches will incur financial penalties and formal breaches against your residential

record.

We thank you for your cooperation during this time to allow all residents to have an

environment conducive to studying.

Please speak to your RL or a staff member if you have any questions.

Spring Festival

Sunday 18 October 2015

10am-4pm

Whitehorse Civic Centre, Nunawading

SPRING IS COMING, LET'S GET READY TO CELEBRATE!

Celebrate the return of warmer weather at Whitehorse City Council’s ever popular Spring Festival on Sunday 18 October 2015.

Spring Festival is a free, fun-filled day that celebrates our vibrant

community! Offering a perfect day out for all the family, explore the

imaginative world of storytelling through children's books, the theme

for this year's Spring Festival. Kids (and kids at heart) are encour-

aged to dress up as their favourite book character on the day as they

experience a wonderful world of fun.

Come and enjoy a huge variety free rides, performances, workshops

and activity sessions – have your face painted, see and participate in

amazing circus shows and workshops, play with the giant garden

games and see the best local bands, singers and artists across five

stages.

Guests can also expect plenty of great food, delicious coffee and sweet treats, and there will be ample seating and grassed are-

as to kick back, relax and enjoy the festivities.

Most importantly, Spring Festival provides a great opportunity to get to know your local neighbourhood with the event showcas-

ing displays by an abundance of local hobby clubs, interest groups and service providers, so come along and learn more about

the activities offered just around the corner.

Parking is always limited around the event site, so public transport is recommended as the best way to travel to the event. It is

best to leave the family pet at home for the Spring Festival.

Further information on the event, festival maps, stage programs and much more will be available soon. To stay up to date on all things Whitehorse Festival Season, follow our Facebook page via www.facebook.com/WhitehorseFestivalSeason

No matter when you plan on checking out, you MUST leave your room/studio apartment in a clean and tidy state.

For those at BSV and the MB Shared Apartments, your RLs have created cleaning rosters for check-out. You will not only be responsible for cleaning your bedroom, but communal areas as well.

Everyone in BSV and MB Shared Apartments will be assigned a specific cleaning task, so please see your RL as soon as possible for details on cleaning expec-tations.

If your room is left dirty or if you do not contribute to the cleaning of common areas, charges will apply and an encumbrance will be placed on your Deakin account. You will not be able to access your results or re-enrol until the charges are paid.

ALSO….

If you are checking out at the end of trimester 2, you must fi-nalise your account prior to leaving. Check out on November 2nd is NO LATER THAN 10AM. Failure to do so could result in additional costs.
