La Trobe’s night of nights,  Friday 24th April 2009

There are certain events in life you just don’t want to miss.  Your team’s footy grand final.  Your first child’s birth (especially if you’re the mum).  That first magical physio skills prac where everyone gets their kit off.

But then there are events that you CAN’T miss ( eg Your girlfriend’s mum’s birthday, your supreme court trial for murder, your attempt to prevent the Kennedy assassination) lest you be ostracized from society all together.

Physio Ball is the latter.

It is the be all and end all of the social calender in physiotherapy.  Period.  It is a night to drink a few vodka-lemon-limes with those people who you thought you would never see out of trackies.  Have a dance.  A possible disco pash that  will add some spice to your physiology prac.  Legends are made.  Stories accrued.  But most of all, it is a way to get to know everyone that you go to uni with, despite the divisive common first year (booo).

Physio Ball 2009

When: 7.30pm-12.30am, Friday 24th April, 2009

Hands for Health, held on the 11th of march, was a complete success.  Period.

The PSA raised $819.70 for the day, all of which will go to the Alfred burns unit and help the unfortunate bushfire victims of Black Saturday.

Congratulations to all those involved, and a big thank you to Kirby, Marty, Alex, Lachy and Luke who did a stellar job organising the event.  Also, another thankyou to those who donated their time and magic hands to such a worthy cause.  Finally, to those who received massages and donated;  thankyou and come back next year!

Don’t forget that you can all still contribute to the cause by raising money at home/work by massaging friends and taking their details for a tax deduction (if they want). All forms and money to be collected before the 9th of April - speak to a PSA rep for more details or email us at admin@latrobepsa.com

Don’t know that cute guy who always sits at the back left of WLT2 is, but have wanted to chat since o-week?  Want to  have a few quiet (silent?)  beverages with the people you will spend four years with?  Well Physio camp is your opportunity first years.

Anyone but first year greenhorns remember Physio Camp.   The P Party!  The fellow physio Fun and frivolity!   The realisation during Miss Physio that the blokey footballer you’re mates with fills out that little black dress suspiciously well.  And all out in the country where even Dick Cheney and his CIA goons can’t find you.  Great times all round.

Running from the 20th-22nd of March at the Allambee camp in Gippslands, Physio camp is an incredible opportunity to meet new people and identify with your fellow physio students.  Open to first years (and second years who either missed the boat or want to go again)  it is the first major social event of the year, and well worth getting out of work/footy/netball/church/court enforced volunteer order for that weekend.

Ali, Mel Jinks and chief will now be selling tickets at 2PM FRIDAY the 13th in hs3 525.

Contact chief  on 0431853691 if you have any queries.
