Make plans for Open Day

If you’re lucky enough to have been to Disneyland, you’ll know that the best way to make the most of your experience there is to plan ahead.

You need to get to the Indiana Jones Adventure and the Haunted Mansion, take a few touristy photos in Mickey’s Toontown, get drenched on Splash Mountain, and then end up at the Parade of Dreams in time for the fireworks at night. Or something like that. Basically there’s so much to do that you need to plan ahead so you can fit it all in – just like Open Day at Murdoch!

Here are the fireworks from last year’s Open Day – and about 47 seconds after this photo was taken, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the lecture theatre. Oops!



We won’t have any oversized mice posing for photos but we do have fireworks (see above), at least 11 staff members with the surname “Jones” (but sadly no Indiana) and a looong list of things for you to fit into Open Day, including:

• Campus tours to check out the working farms, hospitals, clinics, theatres and more. (You can also take a tour online before you get here, to help you work out where everything is!)
• No fairytale princesses on floats, but a bunch of very cool bands performing live in Bush Court (we’ll tell you more about the bands in a future blog post!)
• Competitions and giveaways (including free stuff from the Nova 93.7 Cassanovas)
• Talks on courses, and general info on uni life, study help and more.
• Entertainment and interactive fun stuff...more about a very cool workshop for our new Games Art and Design course next week....
  
• “Hotspots” for each course area where you get involved in activities and demos and find out much more about that particular course area.
