Celebrate the achievements, leadership and impact of our student community at the UNSA Student Gala 2026.

Join us from 5:00pm on Friday 4 December 2026 in the stunning Great Hall, Callaghan Campus, for an evening dedicated to recognising the students, clubs and societies that make our campus community thrive. From outstanding student leaders to exceptional clubs and societies, the Student Gala is UNSA's premier annual celebration of student success.

This year's theme is Starry Night 🌙✨

Dress Code: Formal - Starry Night Inspired

Think deep midnight blues, shimmering metallics, celestial accents, elegant silhouettes and touches of starlight. Dress to impress beneath a sky of celebration and recognition.

Enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring a canapé hour, live entertainment, awards presentations, a three-course dining experience, a five-hour drinks package, music, dancing and plenty of opportunities to celebrate alongside friends, club members and the wider university community.

The evening will recognise exceptional contributions across our student and club award categories, celebrating those who have gone above and beyond to create a vibrant, connected and thriving student experience.

Most importantly, your ticket purchase directly supports the student community. All proceeds from the Student Gala are reinvested into student initiatives and services delivered by UNSA, including programs such as Free Food Friday, the UNSA Pantry, student events, club grants and other initiatives that enhance student life on campus. By attending, you're not only celebrating student achievements, you're helping make future opportunities possible for students across the University of Newcastle.
