The Singapore High Commission in Australia and Overseas Singaporean Unit (OSU) is organizing a Student Welcome Reception on the evening of the 7th of March 2011 at the Park Hyatt Hotel to welcome all Singaporean students studying in Victoria.

The Student Welcome Reception (SWR) objectives are to welcome all Singaporean students, provide updates on Singapore to promote connectedness with home, promote OSU and OSU related activities, encourage students to e-register with MFA, and to help promote and profile the SSS/SSA and related activities. This event is free to all Singaporeans and will provide new and current students an opportunity to meet one another and share experiences, along with meeting various student organisations and their representatives.
