O-Week is your official welcome to uni life.
Across the week, campus comes alive with live music, free food, giveaways, club sign-ups, market stalls, and events designed to help you meet people and find your place. Whether you’re brand new or coming back for another year, this is where your trimester begins.
GET YOUR O-WEEK BAG!
Start your trimester with the ultimate O-Week essential.
Each bag is packed with freebies including a Guild tote, notebook, voucher booklet, and this year you can choose between a branded water bottle or a cooling towel. Limited stock available — grab yours while they last!

CHECK OUT SPORT ZONE
Sport Zone is your drop-in destination to explore sport, fitness and wellbeing at Griffith Gold Coast. Meet clubs and campus partners, discover competitions and programs, and find simple ways to get active in Trimester 1.
SIGN UP WITH A CLUB
Discover what student life is all about at Club Sign On. Meet affiliated clubs, explore memberships, learn about upcoming events, and get involved from day one — with activities and freebies along the way.
COOL OFF WITH A MOVIE
Make a splash at our Dive-In Movie Night — our ultimate poolside movie experience. Bring your swimmers and cool off in the pool while enjoying a movie on the big screen, or relax poolside with friends in a laid-back, summer-style setting. With free popcorn and soft drink included, it’s the perfect way to unwind during O-Week.
The fun doesn’t stop there. Join Mates in Minutes for a fast-paced, easy way to meet new people, or come along to New to the Gold Coast to connect with other students who are new to the area. These events are designed to help you feel welcome, build friendships, and start your trimester feeling connected.
JOIN THE BEACH PARTY
We’re finishing O-Week in true Gold Coast style at our Beach Party at the Uni Bar. Join us for a huge night featuring two live DJs, drink specials (including the Shark Bite), and a packed dance floor from 7pm until midnight.
Grab your tickets online or at the Uni Bar and celebrate the end of O-Week with your mates. With free buses running to the after party, this is the perfect way to wrap up an unforgettable week.
