Here’s where you’ll find all the important dates for MCU stuff in one convenient spot.
So get your diary out and start writing…
February
3-12 MCU in The Village- look for our posters and come and say g’day.
8-11 O-week. MCU Stall on Bush Court
Drop by our stall in between your tours and getting your library card and say g’day to us.
12 Guild O-Week FESTIVAL DAY
It’s always a crazy day with lots of ‘outsiders’ including churches, political groups, activist groups, government organisations, and lots of companies giving away things. Unlike MCU, the vast majority of these people will never be seen again on campus! MCU can get a bit lost in the background noise, so please make the effort to look for our banners, say hello to us at our table, and grab some info.
February (continued…)
13 MCU’s Launch Party 7pm (Contact us for the address)
Everyone gets together for our Launch Party to kick off the MCU year! 1st years get a chance to meet each other as well as the returning students (the ’old-timers’!) of MCU; the returning students get to catch up with each other again after the break; ‘the Village people’ get to meet ’the locals’ and the locals get to meet and welcome those who are new to Australia, Perth and Murdoch. There’ll be a BBQ, Guitar Hero, swimming in the heated pool, music, laughter and lots of fun. Stay as short or as long as you like, just come for some of the evening and say g’day to us - we can’t wait to meet you.
23 The ‘Hangout’
Tuesday night, in our Bible Study room (The Guild Meeting Room). 4:30pm. A chance to ‘hangout’ with other MCU-ers, eat some yummy nibbles together, chat, and generally get to meet people you haven’t met before. Lots of fun.
March
8-10 MCU’s ‘Getaway’ - fun times at Moore River (see separate info under ‘Latest’)
22-26 Week 6 = Mission Week.
This is a special week when we do something specifically focussed on clearly presenting the gospel to our friends, our course mates, our faculties and the wider campus. Start praying now!
Stay tuned - more details shortly.
April

July
12-16 *** *** MID YEAR CONFERENCE *** ***
This is the highlight of the year! Please make sure you ask for the week off from your part-time job and tell your family you can’t go on holidays with them during this week! It is hard to try to convey how much this event will change your life without sounding like we’re hyping it up, just ask any MCU student who has been to MYC and you’ll get the sense that this is really, really worth investing your time in.
