we were woken up every morning at 6am by screaming seniors, in face paints with water guns... we had to wear the same shirt and hat (with our fresher name on) all week long. We weren't allowed to wash it. In the morning program we usually did running and exercise for about 1.5 to 2 hours.

We did tasks like Iron Man challenge, in which almost everyone threw up
We went to Wet n' Wild, Ice Skating, other colleges, did a fresher dance, had social decrees, like carrying something around all week that has to do with your name.. i had to carry a can of beans around with me.. everywhere i went. If you forget it, you get punished. Had a casino night and a barn dance and of course Bunker... biggest college party in Australia.

Best Week Ever! but they've made it a lot easier now, like only 2 seniors are allowed to shout and freshers have regular breaks and more free time. we had none for the whole week.

Cromwell is the best college btw.

If you go to Cromwell, then obvs, your special :sun: So Cromwellians are the ONLY under 18 year olds allowed at the event. And they have security checking all the ages and Present Social / Exec Cromwellians on the front, so we know who you are. You also get served first for drinks, no matter how many people are in front of you :p

Under 18's get a special wristband, and trust me.. it's not worth trying to swap wristbands so you can drink.
