Applications are now open for potential Yellow Shirts for 2006.
If you don't know what a Yellow Shirt is (you should!), Yellow Shirts are the student volunteers who help with O-Week at UNSW - we're known to have one of the best orientation weeks in Australia! During the week, you'll get to meet tons of first years, conduct tours of the Kensington campus, and do tons of cool things like see bands and go to dance parties and just have tons of fun!
As a Yellow Shirt this year, I'd really recommend it, it's a great experience. One word: AWESOME. Go for it! I never expected to make it, but I did, and it was one of the best things I've done.
After submitting your application form, if you're considered suitable, you'll be called for 2nd round interviews which are approx. 2-3 hours long, which evaluate if you're a suitable potential Yellow Shirt. (I heard around 50% of the ~300 applicants are chosen, this may not be true though.) After this, there are socials to help you to get to know your fellow Yellow Shirts, and training is held over the summer holidays to help you prepare for O-Week.
Grab an application form from the stall on the Library Lawn (noon till 2pm weekdays week 5 and 6), from CONTACT (2nd level, East Wing, Quad) or the Blockhouse.
