Student Weekly Competition - International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Southern Cross University Students - your chance to win a Coles Voucher each week!

Thursday 19th September is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Argggghhhhhh 🏴‍☠️🦜 

So yer wanna learn the vast secrets of this sacred day that soon be upon us!?

This celebration was started in June 1995 (more than twenty years ago!) An innovative Ol’ Chumbucket and Cap’n Slappy (formally known as John Baur and Mark Summers) sat down and decided to start the holiday as a fun way to dress up as pirates and talk like them too! Though this is a pirate imitation day, please do not pillage, steal or brawl. Actual pirates aren’t that great, so best to go for the parody version!

For a chance to win 1 of 10 $10 Coles Vouchers you can enter by telling us what your pirate name would be? You can use the table below or make up your own:
