September 2014 2014 RES CLUB COMMITTEE WITH KEITH CONLEY AND JANET LINN Res Club retreat identifies connection points with alumni In early August, fourteen Res Club committee members made the trip to Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp in the Perth foothills for the inaugural Res Club Retreat. They were accompanied by Janet Linn (Deputy Principal) and Cam Barnes (Hall RA and former President of the UWA Student Guild). On Friday afternoon there was an opportunity for early arrivals to take a walk in the foothills. The program after dinner was a session with Janet which debriefed Orientation Week activities and participation. The group then worked on the best ways for Hall alumni to assist and engage with current residents. Major areas in which committee members felt that alumni could assist were in the areas of: • careers – through offering workshops on “life after college/Uni, work placement, internships, graduate job opportunities , vacation work and work shadowing • creating networks through mentoring, reunions, dinners, social sports and UniHaller feature articles • funding – through bursaries, alumni with connections which would support resident activities e.g. access to venues, media, entertainment and food. On Saturday morning Cam presented a workshop on Risk Management and Resilience. The group then took advantage of the glorious weather to explore the Bickley recreation area on mountain bikes before heading back to camp for a lunch with the Hall RA team. EUNICE AND MABEL ON THEIR MOUNTAIN BIKES AT THE RETREAT UniHall Insider UniHaller FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK Dear residents and alumni Welcome to the re-modelled newsletter for University Hall, which we have called Unihaller. It now replaces two previous publications, the Insider and Hallmark that were sent to residents and alumni respectively. We hope you enjoy reading the Unihaller in the spirit of creating connections by sharing news and insights between alumni and current residents of the Hall. By combining the two separate publications we hope to bring the two communities a little closer together – residents see something of what our alumni are up to, and the alumni gain a glimpse into contemporary Hall life. In each edition we hope to feature a resident or member of alumni, starting with our very hardworking President of the Residents Club, Jimson Tan. The second semester of the year has started and we welcome the 130 new residents who have joined us for their academic journey. Many have come from overseas and parts far and wide in our fair country. We hope you have settled into university and Hall life and enjoyed all the social activities the Residents Club and RAs organised for you. The Residential Life Coordinators, Stef, Stuart and Annaleis, are meeting with each of the new residents to help answer any questions and provide additional support if needed. From the vibe in the Dining Room, the new residents have adjusted very well and have quickly made new friends. I encourage you all to think about joining a new table through the next few weeks and introducing yourself to a Unihaller you have not met. The experience is both rewarding and refreshing. The alumni have also been busy organising a series of professional development and bursary fundraising events to directly support current and future students. Look for details in this edition. Alumni and residents are welcome to attend. I would also like to gratefully acknowledge the continuing support the University Club gives to our residents. Not only do they provide consistently excellent catering in our dining room but they also generously donate $20,000 to be distributed as bursaries to residents in financial need. We recently made even $1,000 distributions to 20 very relieved and happy students. Many thanks to Gary Ellis and his team for their important contribution to hall life. Please note, we also welcome contributions to the Unihaller! We are particularly keen to hear of any professional development opportunities that might exist for our wonderful cohort of talented students. To do so, please contact the Deputy Principal, Janet Linn. Keith Conley Principal University Hall The University of Western Australia UNIHALLER RESIDENT PROFILE – JIMSON TAN, RES CLUB PRESIDENT 2014 How did you come to be a resident at the Hall? I was on vacation here in Perth and was at a house party where I met Clement Cher through a mutual friend. At that time I was still looking for accommodation and Clement suggested that I applied for University Hall (Currie Hall back then). After applying through a student service agent, I got a call from Janet Linn for my phone interview. It was quite nerve wrecking but after about a week I got an email notifying me that I’ve received an offer of accommodation at Currie Hall! What do you study at University? How have you been involved in Hall life? I’m currently a third year commerce student majoring in economics and finance. I was initially quite overwhelmed as I wasn’t used to living around so many people on a daily basis. However I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and get more involved in the community by running for the position of Social Representative in the Residents’ Club Committee. Over the years I have slowly worked my way up the committee and eventually got elected as President for the 2014 Residents’ Club Committee. 2 | unihall.uwa.edu.au I have also volunteered with the Community service group to cook meals at the Ronald McDonald house for sick children. It was truly rewarding and touching for us when the families came to thank us at the end of night. What are your fondest memories of living at the Hall? My fondest memory of living at Hall definitely has to be in my first year in Currie Hall. In 2012 while Currie Hall was going under construction, we did not have a games room so all the game equipment were kept in the dining hall. Every night people would be hanging out in the dining hall studying or having a game of pool with one another, it really felt like a home away from home. Can you share a bit about your future plans? To be honest, I’m pretty nervous but excited at the same time to enter the work force. I’m currently applying for graduate positions for consultancy in Perth, over in the east coast and in Singapore. For my long-term plans, I’d really like to move to London and pursue my master’s. JIMSON (BOTTOM RIGHT) WITH OTHER DELEGATES AT 2014 NAUUC CONFERENCE Anything else you would like to share with fellow residents? If there’s one thing I’d like to share with everyone, it’s to really make full use of your time in college. Living at college has really changed my life; it gave me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and to learn about their cultures and traditions. On a lighter note, it gives you the chance to travel the world without having to pay for accommodation! UNIHALL UniHaller Insider High Tea Semester 2 Welcome Over 100 new residents arrived at University Hall for Semester 2. They were invited to celebrate their arrival with a Welcome High Tea on Friday 18 July. September 2014 | 3 UniHaller BEACH DISCOVERY TOUR, O WEEK O WEEK JULY 2014 The University Hall Residents’ Club had a wonderful Semester 2 2014 O-week in UniHall. ResClub planned a mixture of different activities for the new residents this semester. We kick-started the week with an Ugly Sweater Party which generated an awesome vibe amongst the residents, a vibe which remained throughout the whole of O-week. The following days saw residents partake in a range of events, from more physical activities such as Laser Tag and Bounce Inc. to some more relaxed events such as the Coffee Crawl. Quiz Night concluded our O-week where all attendees had the chance to win prizes such as college essentials (stationary, washing powder, food and electronics). It was a amazing week filled with excitement and great energy where new residents had the chance to forge new friendships and experience the college lifestyle and spirit. Kristine Labayog Vice President Residents Club NEW RESIDENTS AT THE O WEEK BOUNCE EVENT RON GIBSON’S NETWORKING SEMINAR BRINGS RESIDENTS AND ALUMNI TOGETHER The Alumni Steering Committee has been active in creating ways to bring alumni and residents together for a shared learning experience. Charles Johnson, ASC Chair, introduced us to Mr Ron Gibson, one of Australia’s leading presenters on networking and how to be an effective networker and communicator. The seminar was part of the Professional Series, in UniHall’s Learning Program. The August 19th event was a great success, attracting 85 residents and alumni who gained useful strategies for improving their networking skills and confidence. Refreshments were served at the end of the presentation and there were still groups “networking” at 9pm. PRESENTER RON GIBSON 4 | unihall.uwa.edu.au UNIHALL UniHaller Insider RESIDENTIAL ADVISOR KAMSANI BIN-SALLEH ATTENDS INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUM The University Scholars’ Leadership Symposium is an annual leadership programme for international students who not only want to see changes in the world, but who want to change the world. The conference is hosted in a different developing country in the Asia Pacific region each year and provides the opportunity for young leaders to hear from some truly inspirational people. UniHaller RA Kamsani Bin-Salleh - along with 700 other students from all over the world – was nominated to attend the 2014 Symposium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia August 1st-7th. Each delegate was able to experience activities that contribute to their holistic development and empower them to become excellent global citizens. Kam’s photos on this page are from the “Learning Journey” where delegates had the privilege of meeting some of the Khmer people of Cambodia. He visited the PSE Institute, “Pour un Sourire d’Enfant” (For a child’s smile), an organisation dedicated to lifting children out of poverty through education. There are three schools which prepare students for 28 different careers and PSE takes care of more than 6000 children every day. Dental Night In August, UniHall’s Dentistry students organised an dental hygiene seminar for residents. This was their second time organising this event, following the very well received “Make Your Teeth Shine Bright (Like a Diamond)” seminar that was organised in Semester 1, 2013. This year’s seminar covered basic topics like the importance of regular dental hygiene, techniques of brushing and flossing and diet. The presentation was expanded to cover other topics relevant to young adults, like sports drinks and alcohol consumption. With the aid of the Dental Health Education Unit in Mount Henry, as well as sponsors like Oral-B, the organisers were able to provide free toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss samples for participants. Oral-B also kindly provided an electric toothbrush (worth upwards of $100) that was won by a sporting volunteer who did a live demonstration of plaque disclosing for the audience. The seminar attracted over 80 participants and proved to be a very enjoyable and informative evening for residents. KAMSANI WITH THE LOCAL CHILDREN Kai Sheng Kwoh September 2014 | 5 UniHaller Semester 2 Mentors On Monday 28 July, our Semester 2 Mentors welcomed their new Mentees to the Hall at a delicious dessert in K House Common Room. Thanks to RA, Felicia Bateman, who was the chief organiser of the evening. University Hall Mentors are senior students who volunteer their time to assist new residents in their transition to college life. Mentors make contact with residents prior to their arrival at the Hall and meet them in person within their first few days. Thanks to our partnership with UCafé, Uni Hall Mentors catch up with their Mentees for free coffee and muffin dates over the semester. We are very grateful to our mentors for their dedication to building an inclusive and welcoming community at University Hall.

Wine Appreciation Evening Thursday 13 November 5.30–7.30pm More details soon but save the date in your calendars! AUGUST 1982 RESIDENTS ENJOYING UNI LIFE – DO YOU KNOW ANYONE HERE? 8 | unihall.uwa.edu.au UNIHALL UniHaller Insider Leadership Program 2014 The Leadership Program is one of six Residential Life programs available to residents. As part of the Hall’s commitment to fostering leadership capabilities and opportunities amongst residents, the year-long program offers participants seminars and workshops in theories of leadership, social change, women in leadership, confidence building and effective communication as well as engaging them with a mentor and in an individual project to benefit the Hall. Participants also go on an annual weekend Retreat. This year’s Retreat is reviewed below by several of this year’s leaders. Leadership Retreat 2014 The Leadership Retreat is an opportunity for participants of the Leadership Program to get away from college and university and all the distractions of everyday life, to reflect on the year to date, engage in team building and leadership exercises and just to get to know each other a little better. There were a number of workshops and opportunities for us to reflect on our own leadership journey and the type of leaders we would like to become. As someone who has had a number of leadership roles in the past, one of the more rewarding aspects of the retreat was stepping back and encouraging people to whom leadership may be something new. In the evenings we played board games and an incredible game of ‘Werewolf’ in front of the camp fire put together by Mez and Halcyon. I managed to get killed off pretty early in both games but they were nonetheless a lot of fun. All in all the weekend was a blast, I made a bunch of new friends, learnt a lot and gained new perspectives in the workshops. This was a great opportunity to take a look at myself and the type of leader I am and want to be. On the afternoon of Friday, the 15th of August, the aspiring leaders from University Hall’s Leadership Program headed out to Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp for our retreat. During this awesome weekend, we were encouraged not only to challenge ourselves as individuals, but also as part of a team, with heaps of entertaining games and activities. Participating in team games has got to be one of the best ways to get to know people and make already existing friendships stronger! We also learnt a little bit about what it means to be a leader from some of our inspiring RA’s and RLC’s. Furthermore, we were encouraged by the support of our peers to give a presentation on our projects for the year (as members of the Leadership Program, we had been given the opportunity to plan and run our own event). We learned so much from each other over such a small period of time. Look out for more of our Leadership Projects coming soon to Uni Hall! Alyssa Shapland Julian Coleman Events Manager, University Hall Residents Club September 2014 | 9 UniHaller Aboriginal Cultural Project: EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE OLDEST LIVING CULTURES IN THE WORLD First of all, we would like to raise a toast to all involved in the Aboriginal Cultural Project (ACP) 2014. A team of six Uni Hallers (Jessica Yeoh Jiayun, Javirthaa Rengasamy, Olga Valchuk, Daniel Eng, Grace Tzuzhen Peh and Muhammad Afiq Bin Abd Rahman) led by Annaleis, Stefanie and Matthew Lee spent two weeks in Geraldton, volunteering our services to a range of Aboriginal Organisations and learning, immersing and understanding about Aboriginal culture, language and history. Two weeks away from the hustle and bustle of city life, surrounded by the unblemished Midwest landscape and meeting people with great warm and smiles, was an eye opening and insightful experience from the word “go”. We jumped into the minibus and began our awesome journey. We stayed at Gunnado farm, approximately 30 mins away from the city of Geraldton with panoramic views of canola fields. It was truly inspiring, filled with laughter, surprises and great conversations along the entire trip. Not to mention, our fun board/card game sessions, themed dinners, road trips and late night chats. Our Interactions with people from the Aboriginal community was the main purpose of this trip. Bundiyarra, which means “a good place to be”, is an Aboriginal community hub that serves to preserve the Wajarri and Bandimaya cultures, traditions and languages. It should be recognized that Indigenous peoples are not homogeneous. We met and conversed with members of the Aboriginal community like Auntie Merrilyn, Marcelle, Richard, Jayden, Ross, Auntie Gloria who worked tirelessly to engage the Aboriginal community. They shared their stories and experiences and we were blown away by their warmth, hospitality and welcome. We assisted in the organisation of a sports carnival for 12 schools around Geraldton. There was beauty in the amazing and diverse range of people attracted to the sports carnival during NAIDOC week. With more than 250 people attending, it was the biggest event that an ACP team has ever undertaken. Their sunny and vibrant smiles brightened our day and gave us the energy and motivation to interact and to carry out our station duties. 10 | unihall.uwa.edu.au As we look back, it is important for us to ask whether we accomplished what we set out to do. To this I would say a resounding yes! The NAIDOC week theme for this year was Serving Country – Centenary & Beyond. This was to recognise honour and highlight all Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander men and women who have fought in defence of their country but were not recognized before. We attended the Servicemen’s Memorial dawn service. It started at 6am which meant that we were up bright and early to be bussed to the venue to help with the preparation of breakfast. It was a solemn event, remembering fallen soldiers. One veteran Aboriginal soldier, Graham Taylor (left), spoke pensively on his experiences, challenges and obstacles during his stint in the Vietnam War. On the other hand, there was Gloria Forgarty (right) who lost her beloved father, Arthur Forgarty, to the Great War. Hailing from Mount Magnet, she endeavours to participate in the yearly NAIDOC events in memory of her father. During the memorial event, we could not help but shed tears upon seeing Gloria’s eyes well up as she placed a commemoration wreath for her father beside the three flagpoles bearing the flags of Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islanders. The next day, we were also involved with the NAIDOC servicemen lunch at Bundiyarra. Tents were erected, chairs placed in neat straight rows and military decorations were hung. Furthermore, we bound the information on fallen servicemen and women who fought for the country, laminated interviews and articles which brought awareness to the fallen soldiers and drew attention to the overarching umbrella of reconciliation. A live band rang out in a penetrating chorus of voices calling around Bundiyarra. Almost 500 people had converge to commemorate fallen family members, friends or loved ones who died and fought in the war for their country. The aroma of fresh sizzling foods like Kangaroo tail stew, baked fish and roasted vegetables wafted through the Bundiyarra community compound. Friends, neighbours, curious onlookers, eager participants alike enjoyed the commemoration ceremony, the festival and of course the plethora of delicious foods under the blessing of an intermittent UNIHALL UniHaller Insider rain and partly sunny skies during the Annual Aboriginal celebration. The honour roll which was strategically placed on the stage seemed to be a symbolic gesture that their heroic gestures will never be forgotten. Lest we forget. Reflecting on what we went through, indeed culture was shared and friendships made. Although this trip is just the tip of the iceberg and there are still many aspects of Aboriginal life that we do not yet understand, we believe that there were many learning points to take away regardless of our background. When we get to know people with different ethnic backgrounds, from different cultural histories, belief systems, and lifestyles, we begin to realize that everyone has similar basic needs. People want respect, love, happiness, validation and of course hope for a better future not just for themselves but for the entire community. The way in which these desires are pursued is where divergence occurs, although the fundamentals are the same. We can relate to almost everyone if we look past the superficial facades that divide us. In conclusion, there is much diversity, innovation and greatness in experiencing one of the oldest living cultures in the world that we cannot help but be inspired. We would strongly recommend any student looking for a rich cultural experience to partake in this amazing trip. We will definitely go back and do it again any day! Signing off, Afiq Abd Rahman and the ACP Team September 2014 | 11 UniHaller REGIONAL VOLUNTEERING TRIP day, digging holes, planting native species, caging the plants to protect them and even learning about animals in the area. Overall, the Regional Volunteering Trip was an amazing opportunity for the residents of University Hall. “Fearless Leader” Hally was an amazing team leader and the trip would not have happened this year without her help! What did you do this winter break? Ten UniHall residents volunteered with 4 organisations and performed over 20 hours of volunteering to give back to the community and raise awareness of environmental issues in the area. Thanks to the amazing team who came on the trip: Martin Wong, Kimi Thien, Becky Dreyer, Jane Ming, Willem Meyer, Angie Robinson, Madi Granger & Mitch Paterson. Bri Bourke The group was led by Hally Milne and made its way to Busselton in South West Western Australia. Although Busselton is known for its lovely weather and pristine landscapes, this group was heading down south for alternative reasons – they were on their way to volunteer! The first day of volunteering lead the group to Smith’s Beach, south of Busselton. Working with Tangaroa Blue, the group collected nearly 3,000 pieces of rubbish off the beach including over a thousand pieces of small plastic, plastic that is often ingested and deadly for marine life and birds. The pristine beaches of Busselton – and anywhere else in the world for that matter – are actually swimming (literally) in millions of pieces of rubbish. On the third day they volunteered with the Landcare Nursery to repot plants, weed and sanitise old containers. It may sound a little boring, but this is one of the most crucial pieces to the puzzle that is environmental revegetation projects. Within the Landcare Nursery, there would be no plants for anyone to plant! Following on from our day at the Nursery, we worked with the Busselton-Dunsborough Environment Centre Inc. planting trees amidst the Tuart Woodlands. It was an interesting 12 | unihall.uwa.edu.au CRICOS Provider Code: 00126G UniPrint 117966 The second day of volunteering had residents at a farm in Margaret River where they worked with a local farmer to plant 1,500 seedlings. The farmer wanted to reduce fertiliser and other dangerous chemicals from entering the natural streamline by revegetating the area. It was a successful, albeit muddy, day of tree planting!
