ºÚÁÏÉçÇø

21 December 2015

We couldn't wait any longer for the chance to share ºÚÁÏÉçÇø's very own Christmas carol with you. Here it is in all its glory, complete with audio, featuring our very own Office of Marketing and Communications piper piping. 

On the 12th day of Christmas, ºÚÁÏÉçÇø gave to me:

  • 12 students cheering
  • 11 eleven ducks a swimming
  • 10 musicians playing
  • nine dancers dazzling
  • eight maids a milking (well, almost. How about one eight-legged maid being milked for spider venom?)
  • seven students splashing
  • six grads a leaping
  • five golden rings (squid, from ºÚÁÏÉçÇø's refectory)
  • four battery packs (powering ºÚÁÏÉçÇø's Global Change Institute)
  • three sea stars
  • two river turtles and
  • a glider in a gum tree.

Renowned ºÚÁÏÉçÇø historian and classical scholar Professor Alastair Blanshard () ponders the meaning of the original carol here.
