Under 18's New Sign In Procedure

Under 18? As you will now be aware the sign in procedures have now changed.
All Under 18’s must show their Student ID Cards when Signing – In.

Staff will be checking your ID as you sign yourself in.
This is a permanent new requirement for all under 18’s to follow from now on.

Note: This new strict policy has been started due to some under 18's over time abusing the policies. If any under 18's show us areas where breaches are occurring policy rules will be increased if necessary.

Quinten = Japan

Well I have an announcement. After 5 years of working and living here onsite at UniLodge@UNSW I will be leaving in late June. After lots of consideration my wife and I will be moving back to my wife’s home country of Japan. Osaka here we come!...I will need to practice my Japanese.

Over my time here I've seen plenty of things. Plenty of big events, plenty of fire alarms and I've seen every under 18 trick in the book. But the experience with all the students has always been great. Some have been short term stays and others have been staying here as long as me if not longer so I've seen a lot and have met plenty of interesting people.

Of course there will be someone replacing me. We dont no who that person might be just yet but we will introduce that person to you all when we know ourselves. (Under 18's watch out)

So its been great working with UNSW Foundation Year and you guys the students (even with the head aches you give me at times). I wish you all the best in the future and with your studies. Il still be around until June 23 so come and say "see ya later" when you get a chance.

Thanks!!
Quinten

Male Geminis and Female Geminis

A Gemini male is very friendly by nature, you constantly look for new contacts and are adored within your company. Your intelligence and sense of humor often make you irresistible to people. You hate routine in relationships, and your mate has to learn to grab your attention by something new.

A Gemini female tends to be optimistic and energetic. You like witty, intelligent men who can keep you interested in everyday conversation and you aspire to improve everything around you.

Insects

Well as there were some reports of some friendly insects visiting resident apartments UniLodge decided to do something about it....after all there are no non-residents allowed after 10pm.

Over the last 2 weeks when housekeeping have cleaned your apartment they also sprayed for insects at the same time. Doing this has helped the situation. And even if you didnt have a problem at all this will stop in from starting.

You can now say good by to your unwanted pets.
