Flinders Punjabi Student Association
A home at Flinders University where students from every culture come together, with the colour, music and warmth of Punjab at its heart.

Celebrate, connect, belong
Connect across cultures
Joint nights with other cultural clubs, food swaps and friendships that cross every background.
Bhangra for everyone
Fun dance sessions for all levels, plus performance teams for cultural nights on campus.
Support each other
A friendly network for new and international students: settling into Adelaide, study tips and someone to call on.
A taste of Punjab
Punjab in our hearts
The colours, sounds and flavours that inspire everything we do, shared with friends from every culture.
Phulkari
Bright flowers hand-stitched in silk thread onto shawls and dupattas, worn at weddings and festivals. Its colours inspire our whole look.
Dhol & bhangra
The heartbeat of every Punjabi celebration. Born in the harvest fields, now danced all over the world.
Green fields & five rivers
Punjab means "land of five rivers": the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. Their waters feed green fields of wheat, rice and mustard, which is why Punjab is called the breadbasket of India.
Punjabi warmth
Nobody leaves a Punjabi home hungry. We bring that same open-hearted welcome to campus.
