25.01.2022 BUPISA’s Bikini Bottom Party at Don’s is only 5 days away. Don’t be ‘shell-fish’, tell all your friends, and get your costumes together, ready to dive in for a F-U-N night

23.01.2022 Club Sign On Day is underway! Come find us at the end of the ornamental lawns, closest to the arch

21.01.2022 Hey everyone! So we are all beyond excited to announce our new logo. It is vibrant, it is beautiful and it is unique. We have been meaning to change our logo for a while and finally, with the thanks to Ketha Narayanan, we have managed to achieve this! Hope you all like it as much we do. BUPISA execs

19.01.2022 ***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** Morning to our fellow islander family! For most Bondies back on campus, you might be aware that Club Sign On Day is tomorrow. So before you go looking for the table with the colorful decor and loud music, just making a public announcement that BUPISA will not be hosting any events this semester. Last semester we made the decision to put BUPISA on hold as a few of our Executive members are nearing the end of their degree and wanted some time to focus on ...their studies and plans for after uni. BUT do not worry, BUPISA is not gone forever! This is a temporary hiatus, and we hope whether its our old friendly faces or some new ones, that BUPISA will return to share the island community at Bond some love and good food! Love from the BUPISA Exec Team xx

One of our fave island brother states JAMAICA is having a round of awesome parties during the games that you should not miss out on! Entry fee for all events are ONLY $10, so be there for some fun times and awesome tunes!

18.01.2022 Hey everyone, our BBQ is happening in an hour (2:30pm) at the lawns behind South Tower We’ll be cooking up heaps, and are keen to meet new students (whether Pacific Islander or not) and returning students. See you all there

15.01.2022 Hello to all our BUPISA Family! As most of you know last week was International Week and we were excited to host our first ever Papua New Guinean Cultural Dances! On Tuesday of Week 8 we had five lovely ladies from Brisbane, including our very own Treasurer Skye Ampa'oi Imaka, perform traditional dances from the provinces of New Ireland and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville. While we regret to say that we didn't get the best videos from that night, due to bad lighting and... just sad camera quality, the pics below show their dance attires and some lucky fans who were able to take some pictures with the girls after the performance. A big thank you to all the students who despite having assignment deadlines and hungry stomachs, were able to sit through the performances and enjoy some classic PNG tunes. That night was a complete success for BUPISA and we are happy to say that it was worth all the stress and organizing! Following that event, we had the Global Food Festival on the Wednesday. Unfortunately we arrived late, because cooking our Chop Suey took longer than expected but that actually worked in our favor. Most of the students that weren't able to grab a plate of food before everything ran out were fortunate enough to catch us when we arrived. Then in true GFF fashion, the food was gone before you could say "International Week". Given the rush and time restrain on the day, we weren't able to take a lot of pictures. Regardless, everyone got the chance to taste a bit of some island-style cooking and enjoy some fresh fruits! So overall, Bond International Week for BUPISA was a success and definitely one of our better performances as a cultural club. Once again, thank you to everyone who supported us and were there to experience everything we had planned out. We love you long time! BUPISA Execs xx P.S Excuse Courtney's face in the last pic, trying to hold a conversation while serving food is not as easy as it seems

13.01.2022 Gutpla Avinun Olgeta! Good afternoon Everyone! If you’re looking for a break next week Wednesday, come on down to Global Food Festival! BUPISA will have a stall up serving our specialty of island-style Chop Suey and tropical fruit skewers! Hope to see you all there for a feast!

06.01.2022 Gutpla Morning Olgeta! Good Morning Everyone! Happy Friday! Hope everyone's week is coming to a spectacular end as ours is. We at BUPISA, in conjunction with Bond Amnesty International, Bond University Red Cross Society and Bond University United Nations Student Association are proud to announce that we have concluded our fundraising and have sent all donations to Paul who is in Hela, Papua New Guinea right now! We would like to thank everyone for your contribution, whether b...ig and small, every cent (or toea in this case-PNG currency) is going towards the rebuilding of a community. In the mere 2 weeks of the campaign, particularly at a time when exams were right around the corner and assignment due dates were already at our doorsteps, we were able to rally together and get all you amazing people to help us fundraise $580! This converted to K1,400 in PNG Kina! Imagine what we could have done if we had the time! Regardless, it is a great effort and you all can be proud of the donations you so kindly gave. Be sure to keep an eye out for announcements on Paul's trip to Hela and how he delivered the items YOU paid for! Also a big thank you to Amanda Tauber of Bond Amnesty International for spearheading this fundraiser, you are truly a legend! From all of us here at BUPISA, thank you again to everyone who lent a hand throughout the fundraising weeks and to all who made a donation (Bondie and non-Bondie alike) love you longtime! xx P.S The images attached are of the cards we sold, our promotion poster and a thank you poster with some pics from the fundraising. Have a peep and throw a like in there too!
