WANTED! Enthusiastic supporters of the Deakin Smoke-Free Policy to become ambassadors. Deakin
is looking for people who can fill one of two ambassador positions:
1. First is a paid position where the ambassadors are required to work for 1 hour 3 days a week
for 12 weeks. They will be paid $250 onto their Deakin card and they will receive a certificate
acknowledging their support.
These ambassadors will be required to wear a Deakin Smoke-Free t-shirt whilst on campus and
in groups of 2 will politely approach anyone they see smoking. They'll also be provided with
merchandise to hand out to anyone who wants to show their support.
Essentially, they will be Deakin’s eyes and noses whilst creating a "presence" on campus to
help Deakin promote and enforce the Smoke-Free policy.
2. The second position is a volunteer position for those who aren’t able to make this time
commitment. Deakin requires volunteers to help out with events such as open day and world
tobacco free day. While you won't get paid, it will certainly be a great addition to your CV!
Deakin also asks that the ambassadors help the university come up with different and engaging
ways to promote the Smoke-Free policy. All ambassadors will receive training. Dates haven’t been
set but they are aiming to run it in the week of May 19th.
If this is something that interests you, could you please email Rachel Isaacs at
[email protected] detailing what your background is (i.e. what you’re studying) and
what sort of experience you could bring to the position? Also please confirm which campus you’re
primarily based at.

Intercampus Clash On Sunday 11th May we had the annual Intercampus Clash
down at the Waurn Ponds Campus. Due to a clash with
Mother’s Day, our numbers were low but our enthusiasm
was high. With Warrnambool as a late scratching, our boys
had two games against Deakin and Barton/NRAS, while the
girls had the one match against the combined Geelong
Campus.
Our boys started well with a win against Deakin, however a
lack of numbers and size started to wear on the boys and
went down to a very strong Barton/NRAS team. Trent Bacon
had leather poisoning running out of half back (perhaps
because he forgot how to handball), however Tim Hicks
took BOG honours but fell ill with altitude sickness after a
great attempted specky.
The girls only had 13 for the day but put in a solid effort.
Even if the ball was at the opposite end, the girls kept
themselves entertained by dancing along to the music.
Highlights for the day were Kiki’s miracle goal from the
pocket, not bad considering she had never played before.
Jade Williams was a solid performer, however BOG honours
go to Abber Harangozo. The boys were very impressed with
her blind turns on the wing!
Could Tim and Abbey please come to MB reception to collect their prizes for their performances on the
day. Well done to everyone who participated and supported on the day. Thank you to the Red Frogs
Team and the GOATS (Geelong’s BEARS) for putting on the day.
Wednesday Sesh There will be a Wednesday Sesh next Wednesday 21st May in the MB Rec Room.
If you missed out on performing last time, make sure you get your name down to perform this time. If you
have any questions, please see Ryan McClure or Louis Coad. Otherwise, send a message to the BEARS
Facebook page.
