The Physics Students' Society exists to promote the glory of Physics (and Physics students, of course!). It costs only $2 to join ($5 for non-Union members) and membership is open to everyone, not just Physics students.
Our aims are to provide support for Physics students throughout their studies at the University. The PSS provides a network for Physics students in the University to share knowledge and ideas about Physics, and to get to know other people interested in Physics. We also organise Physics-related excursions and activities, including an ongoing project to steal Monash's synchrotron and install it under the South Lawn.
If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please send us an email.
If you are a member and you’re not receiving our emails about events, there is a chance we have an incorrect address in our database. Please send us an email and we’ll fix it up!
If you’d like to get involved with club planning, you can add yourself to the committee mailing list by visiting http://www.freelists.org/list/unimelbpss-committee. All PSS members are welcome to join us at committee meetings, so add yourself to the committee mailing list to find out when the next meeting is scheduled.
The PSS is eagerly anticipating the arrival of some new faces in 2010! Keep an eye out for us at the Clubs and Societies Carnival. We’ll be there from February 25-26 all day, so come along to our table to join the club or buy an official PSS T-shirt. Just look out for people dressed in purple.
All members joining during O-week will receive a free back issue of Cosmos magazine!
We will be holding a BBQ for all our members in Week 3. Details will be made available soon.
Just in case you’re not already super-excited about 2010, here is a picture of some of our members on our recent excursion to the Australian Synchrotron

As the more hip members will already be aware (via our Facebook page) we are planning a few exam revision sessions throughout SWOTVAC. The times and dates are as follows:
This Tuesday, we plan to give the study day at least SOME air of dignity to acknowledge Cup Day. We intend to traverse in a particle-like-fashion down to Lygon street and collect highly decadent snackage and refreshments. Formal dress code is optional in the extreme.
See you there!
The Physics Students’ Society has organised a special excursion to the Australian Synchrotron exclusively for PSS members.
We will be given a tour of the facility, and you will have the opportunity to walk through the synchrotron tunnels and talk to some professional physicists about their work. The tour will be followed by a free BBQ at the Synchrotron, brought to you by the PSS and the University of Melbourne School of Physics.
Unfortunately, we are only able to take 40 people, as this is all the venue is able to accommodate. The best way to sign-up will be at the PSS AGM on the 25th of August. (See the “Notice of Physics Students’ Society Annual General Meeting” e-mail for further details.)
Alternatively, if you can’t make it to the AGM, you can sign up for the excursion by replying to this email with the following details:
We will send you an email confirming your place on the excursion, including any last-minute details, shortly after the AGM.
The Physics Students’ Society will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 25th August.
This is a very important event in our calendar, as this is the time that we elect next year’s committee. The following committee positions will be up for re-election, and are open to all members of the Society who are University of Melbourne students:
Details of the AGM:
We need at least twenty members to show up in order to hold a quorate AGM, so please come along even if you’re just after a free lunch. To this end, free pizza and soft drinks will be provided. The more the merrier!
This is also your best opportunity to sign up for our upcoming excursion to the Australian Synchrotron.
There are no amendments to the constitution this year.
