SRO Signature Events

1. Terrarium Workshop

In the hectic world of university life, finding activities moments of tranquility and serenity could be quite difficult.

Though how serene it sounds, building a miniature ecosystem could be quite challenging. From selecting plants, arranging them in glass bowls and vases, to creating a sustainable environment requires patience and focus with a steady hand.

Displaying these tiny yet impactful terrariums in our field of vision as soon as we wake up in the morning to returning from a tiring day can help us ameliorate the atmosphere, lessen a tinge of our stress, and enhance our overall mood.

The terrarium workshop held in the Student Residence provided students to connect with nature for 2 days, offering residents a chance to bring a hint of nature to their dorm rooms.




2. Hall Mural Project

Graffiti requires people to see the whole process, therefore, every mistake, design and movement is laid bare. Understandably, graffiti art often seen as a rebellious form of art.

When there is legality where public property and legal spaces are allowed to be painted, a skilled workforce will get to paint beautiful murals/street art. Without these opportunities, artists do not have chances to learn, no guidance and no community leaders to encourage technique or skills to approach graffiti art.

As an exchange student from the university of Melbourne, Australia studying fine arts, Skye Manley has transformed the wall outside Hall 3 into a beautiful expression of art through graffiti.



3. CityU Info Day

On the first Saturday of October, CityU opened its gates to curious secondary school students about the next chapter of their education life. The annual CityU information Day and Student Residence Information Day were the perfect opportunity for exploring endless possibilities in one of the top universities in the world.

The Student Residence is one of the most anticipated tours where they can get a glimpse of the vibrant on-campus living that could soon be a part of your daily routine. CityU Student Residence offers a comfortable, safe and full-of-life living environment.

4. Busking Nights

Busking was held six times within Student Residence which provided an opportunity to residents to showcase their musical talents buoyantly. Residents got to enjoy the guitar strumming, the rhythmic beats of the cajon and the gentle vocals that filled the night air.

With the intimate and carefree nature of busking, it provides fellow residents to make connections and strike a up a conversation with other fellow listeners and performers. Furthermore, with its informal nature, residents can nonchalantly have a walk-in impromptu performance with encouragement from performers, audience and within themselves. Busking acts as a platform for less active residents to express and showcase their talents and gain experience without pressure.
