Welcoming Our First Years
Here are the highlights from the 2026 BSS O-Week Camp!
Each year, the Biomedicine Students’ Society (BSS) O-Week Camp sets the tone for our incoming undergrads' university experience. Designed to be fun and meaningful, the camp plays a key role in supporting first year students as they form new connections and begin their biomedicine journey together.
At this year's camp, students were placed into teams and completed a series of activities designed to 'break the ice', build friendships, teamwork and resilience. Challenges included the Dizzy Relay Race, Wig Snatch, Human Knot, Capture the Flag and Slip n Slide!
The Orange Team (below) claimed the victory, with consistently strong performances across all activities!
The final team rankings were:
- Orange
- Red
- Green
- Purple
- Cyan
