Recharge 2026, Semester 1

Take a break. Reset. Recharge before exams.

Exams are coming, deadlines are piling up, and stress levels are rising, which means it’s time for Recharge.

Recharge is a pre-exam wellbeing festival designed to help students pause, reset and feel supported in the lead-up to the exam period. Across five days, students can enjoy a mix of free activities, wellbeing sessions, study support, food, fun and opportunities to connect with others during one of the busiest times of semester.

Whether you need a quiet place to focus, a break from the books, a moment to de-stress, or just some free food and good company, Recharge has something for everyone.

What’s on?

This year’s Recharge program includes:

  • Goodie bag giveaways and coffee vouchers
  • Quiet study sessions
  • Puppy Playdate
  • Yoga and Sound Bath sessions
  • Craft and mindful art activities
  • Trivia and board games
  • Scavenger hunt
  • Soup Making with Kitchen Garden
  • Pizza Party with Associate Deans
  • And plenty more surprises throughout the week
