Our program of cultural, sporting and service activities give you the chance to embrace your passions, explore new interests and… have a lot of fun!
INTER COLLEGE COUNCIL (ICC) COMPETITION
Duchesne College is part of the Inter-College Council (ICC) cultural and sporting competition. No other university campus in Australia has a competition quite like this!
The ICC is a program of sporting and cultural events that run throughout the university year. You’ll get the chance to compete against other colleges both as an individual, and as part a Duchesne team to take home the gold! There are many different activities that you can get involved in, from your first week at College, right through to the end of semester 2.
The best part? You don’t have to be an expert to represent Duchene at ICC. In fact, we encourage you to stretch beyond your comfort zone and give it a go! There’s always a big BLUE cheer squad to support you at all ICC events.

Compete against women residing in the eight other colleges within The University of Queensland. The competition is fun and fierce and it’s always exciting to watch the tally board across the year.
