Students from the Higher Education of Nursing program recently came together in the CDU Alice Springs Student Lounge for a Curry Night filled with great food, conversation and connection. The evening featured a screening of Kangaroo, a film shot locally in Alice Springs! 🦘

The event also welcomed a guest speaker from the Central Australian Remote Health Student Society (CARHSS), who shared information about the organisation's role in supporting health students passionate about rural and remote health in Central Australia. The Curry Night was a fantastic opportunity for students to relax, connect with their peers, and strengthen their engagement with the local community.

A big thank you to all the students who joined us, and to the CDU staff and volunteers who helped make the evening possible! 🍛
