WEDNESDAY 18 AUGUST

  • Awkward Sex Conversations (12pm | FREE | The Base). Having discussions with your partner about what contraception you want to use or what sexual activities you do/ do not enjoy or even asking them to get an STI test, can be challenging. These conversations are essential to having a healthy relationship so we have put together some tips on how to have these sometimes difficult conversations.
  • Contraception Talk (12:30pm | FREE | The Base). Join Sexual Health Quarters (SHQ) as they talk you through your options for contraception, how to manage your sexual health, and what to do when things don’t go as planned.

THURSDAY 19 AUGUST

  • Looking out for your mate (11:30am | FREE | Bush Court). Learn about bystander intervention, consent and healthy relationships. This workshop focuses on promoting respect for everyone.

We have small Post Boxes setup around campus during SHAG week for you to submit your questions. Find them in the Library, the Guild Second-hand Bookshop and the Guild Tavern.
