Last Thursday's PSN Story Time marked the end of our annual Mental Health Week events!
We hope students came away from this feeling refreshed, full of resolve, and reminded of the need for self-compassion, particularly as we dive into the 🌵spiky🌵 part of semester 2.
Remember to look out for your friends and peers, and that our mentors are here if you are feeling stressed/overwhelmed/in need of a chat 🫶💛

Week 5 is coming soon — and we know the semester can start to feel a little heavy… That’s why “Mental Health Week” couldn’t come at a better time!

Take a breather, connect with your peers, and join us for activities designed to support your wellbeing — from inspiring staff stories to practical tips on navigating challenges. Let’s pause, reset, and remind ourselves that looking after our mental health is just as important as keeping up with our studies. It’s always something worth talking about!


P.S.: Separate posts will be shared to RVSP for the events.

Have you ever wondered what the journey through veterinary industry really looks like?

Join us for PSN Story Time, where our amazing vet school staff open up about the highs, lows, and lessons they’ve learned throughout their careers. From challenges that shaped them to moments that remind them why they chose this path, you’ll hear raw and real stories you won’t find in a lecture!

If you’re interested, please RVSP in Facebook sign up page before next Wednesday 27/8/2025. Dinner will be catered!

Respect is the foundation of every healthy workplace. But what happens when you’re faced with situations where it’s missing?

Join us for Pre-Placement Training on 26/08/2025 3-5pm, where we’ll dive into practical tips on how to navigate challenging interactions, set healthy boundaries, and protect yourself while staying professional. These are skills that will support you not only on placement, but throughout your entire veterinary career.

To those interested, please RVSP through our Facebook event page and we’re keen to see you there!
