Pause & Play | Clayton

Relax and unwind with an afternoon of food, drink and active rest

As the semester rages on, we find that it becomes more important to carve out time between classes and other commitments to take a mindful break.

That's why we're hosting 'pause and play' sessions at Clayton and Caulfield! Join us for an afternoon of arts, crafts and other mindful activities. We'll provide Lego, art supplies, colouring books and mindfulness toys so that you can choose your own adventure.

We will also serve snacks and drinks, but mostly host a space where you can take a mindful break from your studies.

This year, we will also be hosting a sustainable DIY workshop in each of our Pause & Play sessions, featuring a sustainable expert/instructor. At the end of each session, we will present prizes for the "best" DIY. Spots for this workshop will be limited to a first come first serve basis.

 

Date: Tuesday, 3 September

Time: 1:00pm to 3:00pm

Venue: Graduate Seminar Room 2, Building 89, 21 Sports Walk, Clayton campus

 

Sustainable DIY Workshop: Make Paper and Seed Bombs with Emma

Emma will teach you how to make and decorate seed paper to create gorgeous gift cards or Christmas tree decorations that can be planted in a garden or sprouted inside. As a bonus, Emma will also teach you how to make 'seed bombs' for guerilla gardening!

This is a free event, but please make sure you register below and bring along your confirmation email as a condition of entry. Even better, show us your email confirmation on your phone and save a tree!

Bookings will open 2 weeks before the event date.
