This Thursday, 11 March, we're going to be brave and shave!

Howitt is taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave. Generous residents are giving up their time and their hair to raise money and awareness of Leukaemias, Lymphomas, Myelomas and other blood cancers.

Howitt Hall Society is throwing a BBQ, so come on down at 7pm (after our building evacuation) to support your Hall and to support the Leukaemia foundation. Click below to sponsor Team Howitt!

 Congratulations Howitt Hall!

Thanks to your generosity in offering up your veins, Howitt has taken out the inaugural MRS Vampire Shield - a competition of which Hall can donate the most blood. Howitt donated enough blood to save over 50 lives this semester - a real achievement to be proud of.

If you're a returning resident or thinking of coming to Howitt in 2010, consider joining us in donating blood - it takes about 15 minutes, doesn't hurt very much, and every time you donate your blood can save 3 different lives.

Congratulations Howitt!

Howittians attended the MRS Clayton Awards Night in huge numbers to see Howitt take out a number of top honours at the biggest awards night of the year. Of four awards available Howitt took out three.

Howitt showed its community spirit by winning the MRS Vampire Shield, donating enough blood to save 51 lives this semester. Howitt also won the MRS Environment Award, for the highest participation in environmental activities across Clayton campus.

Tired of looking at the same wall on the treadmill at the gym? Tired of looking at the same wall on your seat in your room? Well how about you come for a bike ride to the city! Yes, I know it sounds like a long way, but really, it's not that far (only takes about twice as long as a train ride). And more to the point, the ride is really very nice. With forests and little tunnels you never thought existed, the view is quite exquisite. So get your bikes into gear or borrow one from a friend, find your helmet and sign up in the GFCR. We plan to leave at 11AM ON SATURDAY 19TH OF SEPTEMBER.

The much anticipated innaugural Howitt Guitar Championship took place on Wednesday the 20th of May. Split into three divisions - easy, medium and expert - there was an opportunity for everyone to get involved. The night kicked off with the medium competition. Michael Petrovic made his way through the tough upper section of the draw, whilst Luci Tham proved the giant slayer in the lower half, taking out the fancied Sheldon Kendrick to advance to the final.

Howitt Hall has lived up to its reputation as a Hall of excellence, recently taking home the Silver Medal in the MRS Inter-hall soccer championship. After a stunning series games leading up to the finals, the Howitt Team (and its trusty cheersquad) took on a strong Mannix side in the semi-finals. With star performances from every player, Howitt knocked over the favourites, Mannix College, to earn a place in the grand final.
