I completed a PhD focusing MEMBER MEETS on the complex relation between buildings and bodies, and ever since, I’ve been working on the intimate connection between who we are and where we are. I think that there’s a constant shaping and reshaping of ourselves and our society that goes on – a type of constant renovation that is happening between ourselves and our ecologies. A key part of these ecologies is our cities and buildings. Our buildings house, harbour, hold, and CHRIS SMITH mould us.

When I started going to the gym, I was worried about how I looked and whether people were looking at me. In reality, the vast majority of people are focused on themselves. Not in a particularly vain way, rather people are at the gym because they are all dealing with things that they’d like to alter. Most people are there to alter the decline of capacities, to build capacities, to change shapes, to alter shapes. And this isn’t a narcissistic or a selfish thing. I think it’s actually about taking power over who you are by choosing to be there… by choosing the gym as where you are.

  • Indigenous Student Success Program 2019 Performance Report
    Indigenous Student Success Program 2019 Performance Report Organisation The University of Western Australia Contact Person Professor Jill Milroy Phone (08) 6488 7829 E-mail [email protected] Acknowledgment of Noongar People and Land The University of Western Australia acknowledges that it is situated on Noongar land. Noongar people remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of their land and continue to practice their values, languages, beliefs and customs. 1. Enrolments (Access) The Commonwealth performance data for 2017 shows that UWA’s position within the national rankings is mixed. UWA’s ranking for total Indigenous student load/EFTSL dropped slightly from our 2016 position. Our ranking for Indigenous students from regional and remote areas has just dropped outside the top 50% of rankings, but our Indigenous regional and remote students as percentage of all Indigenous students has increased. Our Success Rate ranking has remained steady and we are developing strategies to increase this. A number of actions and strategies to mitigate further drops in UWA’s Indigenous total load have been identified, but will take some time to have an impact. Since 2017 we have increased the number of commencing students as well as the access rate for 2017-2019 (from 1.54 to 1.71). Recruiting Indigenous school leavers remains a priority but the pool of potential students, particularly ATAR students is relatively small. The Department of Education Annual Report 2018 – 2019, shows that in 2018 for government schools only 60 Indigenous year 12 school leavers (8.3% of the cohort) achieved an ATAR. While maintaining our strong commitment to school leavers and regional students, key priority and target areas are increasing Indigenous postgraduate coursework enrolments, particularly in professional courses and building Indigenous HDR enrolments.

  • AIS and Black Dog Partner to Improve Mental Fitness in Young Australians
    AIS and Black Dog partner to improve mental fitness in young Australians 27th July 2020 EMBARGOED UNTIL 10AM MONDAY 27TH JULY 2020 Australian Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games athletes are joining the fight to help reduce rates of mental health issues in young children as part of a new community partnership between the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Black Dog Institute. Designed to help young people manage their mental health and improve their general wellbeing, the Mental Fitness Program will see 27 current and former elite athletes assist in delivering mental wellbeing presentations, both in-person and online, at high schools throughout the country. Mental Fitness Program presenter and Commonwealth Games gold medal winning boxer Harry Garside said his personal experience with mental health education at school was a game-changer. “I wanted to get involved in the Mental Fitness Program because I know firsthand that these workshops can have a significant impact and change the course of a young person’s life,” said Mr Garside. “As an elite athlete, I want to role model behaviour that promotes self-care and positive psychology to help improve the wellbeing and resilience of young Australians.” In Australia, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year, and approximately 60% of those people won’t seek help. Over 75 per cent of mental health issues develop before the age of 25 which shows the importance of tackling the subject from an early age. Black Dog Institute Director and Chief Scientist Helen Christensen said the ability to bring sport and community together to teach meaningful life skills was needed now more than ever.
