Week 10 is upon us, and that can only mean one thing: “IT’S CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAS!” (well, nearly). In the countdown to the end of term, don’t forget that you can get yourself into the festive spirit at our food outlets, where there are seasonal treats aplenty on offer this week. We also look forward to seeing you at the Christmas Ball on Thursday in the SU, where we’ll be hosting an Ice Rink in the Atrium, festive favourites from a live party band, walkabout characters and more!

For those of you based on campus or staying around for the holidays, make sure you join our Facebook group for students who’ll be in the same boat so that you keep up to date with everything that’s going on (see below). If you’re living off-campus, please stay considerate to your neighbours in the last week of term by reading SU President ISAAC LEIGH’s blog post on the importance of maintaining good community relations and leaving your properties in an acceptable state. Either way, RAWKUS will be collecting unwanted food items this week to distribute to worthy causes – don’t let your unused items go to waste!

Whatever you’re up to over the coming weeks, we hope you have a relaxing break – and here’s also hoping that the new Star Wars movie doesn’t go the way of The Phantom Menace (we’re sure that won’t happen). See you in 2016!

RAWKUS is a student-run group which, at the end of last term, helped collect an incredible 12 tonnes of unwanted food for local charities - all of which would have otherwise gone to waste! Whether you’re based on or off-campus, make sure you donate your unwanted items this week.

If you live off-campus, please ensure that you leave your local area in a condition that permanent residents will be happy with before going home! Check the SU President’s latest blog post for his Top 3 tips for staying in your neighbours’ good books.

Based on or around the University of Warwick campus during the 2015 Christmas Vacation period? Use this group to meet fellow students, arrange socials or find out more about events taking place on campus after term ends!

The best lunch you’ll have on campus all year (actual scientific fact - albeit unproven) is back at The Bread Oven for just one more week as our famous Christmas Baguettes return!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas by booking a festive Tea Party at Curiositea – available until the end of the first week of vacation!

Our restaurant is also running a full seasonal menu, which is now available to view online – advance booking is recommended, as we’re always busy in the last few weeks!

Visit the University’s website for more information about everything that’s coming up on campus for Christmas.

The Office for Global Engagement is holding a special Christmas Dinner for students on 14th December – click through for more details!

Get dressed up as Santa and have fun with your friends on an easy bike ride on campus this Wednesday, all the while raising money for local charity the Heart of England Community Foundation.

We’re currently running a petition to raise support for a Biometric Residency Permit Machine to be installed on campus to prevent international students having to travel to Birmingham – click through to register your support!

Applications are now open for the Student Calling Team’s 2016 campaign - deadline: 3rd January 2016.

A local winter community shelter project is currently looking for volunteers – visit their Facebook page for more information.
