WSU Welcome to Woolwich Day

On Thursday 2 March, the WSU Co-Captains, Charlotte O’Brien and Clare Thomas, ably assisted by their “Vice Presidents”, Remy and Alexa, organised and led a team of volunteers for the “WSU Welcome to Woolwich”. Remy also did a great job as Santa during the WSU 2022 Christmas activities. During recess, teams of helpers gave out Zooper Doopers to the entire College. It was great seeing students from all years step forward to help hand out the iceblocks to a very happy and boisterous crowd. There were smiles, laughs, tears of happiness, and some students were so happy about the Zooper Doopers that they even hugged the WSU volunteers! In the days before the WSU Welcome to Woolwich Day, there was much excited chatter around the College grounds about the prospect of a free Zooper Dooper. The muggy and humid weather on the day saw the refreshing treats well received.

The Welcome to Woolwich is one of the WSU’s initiatives to create some “buzz” around the College and maintain student wellbeing. The Zooper Doopers were totally funded with money raised from the 10c return tubs that the WSU placed around the College grounds last year. All funds raised by the WSU are ploughed back into initiatives. It is fantastic that more and more students are using this recycling facility and that students are checking their containers.
