UniLodge John Grey Hall

Our on-campus accommodation facility is one of the best places to live while you are studying at James Cook University. You’re only a stone’s throw to class!

Living on campus is a fun and exciting way to experience university life. There is always something happening with plenty of social and cultural activities to keep you entertained. You’ll enjoy fun orientation activities, block functions, concerts, valedictory balls, international food nights and themed events, just to name a few. The first stage of our purpose-built residence will be home to 300 students with plans to expand its capacity to 1000 students in the future.

Huge thanks to the @rspcaqld for bringing along their gorgeous pups for a cuddle and a play with our residents! No better way to start the week 🥰

#pushupchallenge day 15. It’s the final week! And as much as we’d love to say our arms don’t hurt anymore....they do 😂 especially after a long weekend! It’s all for a good cause though. Today’s target is 150 push-ups. In recent years we have started to better understand the enormous role our gut plays in our health. Mental illness is no exception. Studies have shown that following a Mediterranean-style diet might help prevent depression, and possibly help treat it too. Mediterranean diets have high levels of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and the omega fatty acids found in oily fishes like tuna and salmon, as well as in nuts and olive oils. 150g of vegetables is equal to about two serves. Aim to eat vegetables with as many meals as you can. The Australian Eat for Health guidelines can be found here: https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/guidelines/australian-guide-healthy-eating #pushforbetter #pushupchallenge2019 #pushups #mentalhealth #goodcause #donate #fundraising #awareness #jamescookuniversity #unilodgejohngreyhall

#pushupchallenge day 5. We’ve made it to the end of week 1, we’ll most of us have anyway 😂. Thanks to Wayde for jumping in and to Ratu (we used 50 of his also)! Today’s target is 200 push-ups. The burden of mental ill health is especially felt by our First Nations people. Currently in Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are over 200% more likely to die by suicide than non-Indigenous Australians. They are also 270% more likely to be experiencing mental distress. The mental health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders has been identified as a priority by the Mental Health Commission. Resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can be found here: https://headtohealth.gov.au/supporting-yourself/support-for/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-peoples #pushforbetter #pushupchallenge2019 #pushups #mentalhealth #goodcause #donate #fundraising #awareness #jamescookuniversity #unilodgejohngreyhall

#pushupchallenge day 4. It was such a beautiful morning, we decided to head up to the skydeck! We also had one of our residents send in a video of them doing a massive ONE HUNDRED push-ups to help us out! 🙌🏻🙏🏻 Thanks a bunch @ratu_davui we’ll spread these out over the next few days 😁 Today’s target is 124 push-ups. Under Medicare, Australians are entitled to six to ten visits to a clinical psychologist for mental health counselling every year, covered up to the value of $124.50 per session. You can access these sessions under a “Mental Health Care Plan”, which can be put into place by your GP, so don’t feel like help is out of reach. #pushforbetter #pushupchallenge2019 #pushups #mentalhealth #goodcause #donate #fundraising #jamescookuniversity #unilodgejohngreyhall
