Ivan Fung - Social Activities Coordinator

The role for social activities is quite straight forward, it’s all about fun! The biggest joy for this role is to organize all sorts of fun games and activities for COSDUans throughout the year, such as Welcome food and games, sports day and the scavenger hunt. It brings me great sense of happiness and achievement when all my friends are laughing and having a great time together in the chaplaincy, on the field or in the movie theatre.

Student life should not be occupied with only lectures and assignments (please note: they are still very important), we all need to get away from our busy university schedule and just have a great time together. The activities help the COSDUans to enrich their experience here in Melbourne. And more importantly, strengthen our bonds with each other so that we can share our joy and support each other in rough times.

So here is a little summary of the responsibility of social activities coordinator:

• Organize dinners after Friday sessions and masses.
• Plan games for Welcome food and games and other special events.
• Organize social gatherings/activities for COSDU members.

You will work closely with our committee members and there is a wealth of information about things to do and see here Melbourne. So don’t worry even if you are the new kid on the block.

I thank God for letting me this fantastic chance to have fun, serve and learn (please note: not in any particular order). A social activities coordinator does not have to be the most outgoing person or have the best knowledge for Melbourne. As long as you like the idea of putting a smile on other people’s face, you are right to go!

May God keep you.
