SAS BBQ
The SAS BBQ held on the 18th of March proved to be a wonderful success, providing the 1st year students with a great opportunity to mix and mingle with the other Actuarial students at Curtin. Along with free food, we gained an insight into what it is like to be studying Actuarial science, which I found to be very helpful, and I certainly look forward to more events held by SAS.

Poker Night
The Student Actuarial Society’s inaugural Poker Night was held at Manning Memorial Bowling Club, rounding out a year of hard work and successful events for actuarial students. The biggest event of this year was a night where students and staff were able to forget the rigours of uni life and let loose over a variety of casino games, drawing a huge positive response from all those that attended. A big thank you to Jonathan Adonis (President), Joanne Mok (Secretary), Jen Le (Vice President) and the SAS Committee for making this night such a huge success, and I look forward to what’s in store next year.

SAS BBQ
Many of the first years knew each other only by name but this gave us a chance to get to know a little bit more about the people that we will be studying with for the next three years. It was also great for the first years to have the second and third years around to answer any questions and give some advice. The relaxed atmosphere, fuelled by Brad, made it enjoyable and the first years are hopeful for another barbeque.

Actuaries Institute Visit
I was interested to hear that the institute is pushing to promote actuaries in a wider range of industries, such as data analytics and banking. The implementation of new modules in their Part 3 pathway is also an important development that allows actuaries to specialise in more areas. I was also intrigued by the fact that some of these modules are being developed together with other actuarial institutes all around the world.

SAS BBQ
SAS held their first event on the 23rd of March with a classic Australian barbecue. It was a fantastic event for us first years to be introduced to the older and more experienced students studying Actuarial Science and to grow closer together as a cohort. With their advice and tips, it gave us confidence and more knowledge about the actuarial community. It was a great day filled with laughter with and quality nutella fairy bread, and it surely made you anticipate the upcoming events!
