I got it too so I guess every first year should have got it today.  Mine came with a letter, the guide and a starter's guide.

Of which there are probably none in this forum. So what's with these course and subject orientation sessions? What do they tell you in that and are they necessary to attend?

EDIT: Isn't it VCAM now? Please don't hurt me

Also [My Theory] The reason why VCAM students don't use VN is because they usually get into their course by interview, portfolio, audition, etc. [/My Theory]   

As for the sessions, they aren't really necessary to attend, but you get to try and find your way around the uni and make friends.

Technically, yes it is VCAM because it says, "Faculty of the VCA and Music students".

Hmmm, well correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what the info day on the 27th was for? I'm just wondering mostly about the subject sessions (of course, I'll go to the course session..and the lunch haha) and if they're useful, because if they're not I'd rather be out there meeting people than just sitting and listening in a lecture theater.

They'll just show you around uni, plus hold a getting to know you session between other group members. It only goes for a few hours.
Some snippets of what goes on in IRC:
