What’s on this month for wellbeing?

UC Wellbeing is here to support your hauora – your overall wellbeing – while you’re studying at UC. Whether it’s tips to manage stress, ways to stay active, or events that help you connect with others, we are here to support you.

We run regular activations, workshops, and events throughout the year – so there’s always something happening! Want to know what’s coming up? Keep an eye on our socials to keep updated!

To see what’s happening this month check out the calendar below. You can find more information on the posters in and outside of The Living Room (next to the bookshop) – A space where you can go and take a break between your studies anytime from  9am – 4pm on weekdays.

Take care,

Observance of Passover

Members of our UC community will be observing the Jewish festival Passover (or Pesach in Hebrew) from sundown on Saturday 12 April, to nightfall on Sunday 20 April, (or in the Hebrew Calendar, Nissan 15-22). Pesach celebrates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. You can find out more here. There are varying levels of observance of Pesach among the Jewish community; students in halls of residence or flatting might participate in a celebration of Seder (ritual meal), but not the traditional thorough spring-cleaning of the kitchen. Some will abstain from any leavened bread or products containing yeast for Pesach week, and others (usually for medical reasons) do not.  

We wish all those participating a wonderful Pesach.
