Yes, it's that time of year again!

The OIU Hamster Wheel will be back at the Jesuit Mission Bazaar on Saturday, 12 September 2026. 

We're calling on the team to lend a hand for a few hours. We appreciate that some of you may have prior commitments or be busy with family and life, but if you can join us for a spin, a chat and a catch-up with old friends, we would greatly appreciate your support. 

This year, the Bazaar will again be held around Third Field. We have not yet been advised of our exact location, but we will circulate the details once confirmed. Please arrive a few minutes before your shift to allow for a smooth changeover.  

The Hamster Wheel will start a little later this year, at 9.15am, with shorter shifts and a scheduled finish at 3.30pm.  More spins in a shorter period mean more entertainment—and more winners! 

Available shifts are:

• 9.15am–11.00am
• 11.00am–12.30pm
• 12.30pm–2.00pm
• 2.00pm–3.30pm

To assist with planning and OHS requirements, the P&F and Jesuit Mission have asked us to use the SignUp scheduling system for this year's roster. It is a straightforward process:

Please select your preferred time slot.

Ideally, we need 12 volunteers for each shift. 

If you know another Old Boy from your year group - or a current parent - who might be interested in joining the tribe, please pass this invitation on or send us their details so we can include them in future communications. 

We look forward to seeing you on the day. 

If you have any questions, please email or call: Adrian Roche 0419 349 444 aroche555@gmail.com

Many thanks, Adrian Roche and Michael Brooks
