  • Oxford Australia Newsletter August 2017
    Oxford Australia Scholarship Fund Newsletter July 2017 From the Chairman, Oxford This is the 20th year of the Oxford Australia Scholarships - a reason to celebrate Australia Scholarship Fund what has been achieved and to look forward optimistically to the future. A delightful lunch was hosted in Keble College in May this year by James Goudkamp, a member of the Oxford Australia Committee and Fellow of Keble, for current Oxford Australia scholars and some former scholars who are still based in Britain. In October we plan to have another lunch at St John’s College for everyone in the United Kingdom who is available. For former scholars who are in Australia we hope to have several functions, in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, probably in November to allow fellow scholars to meet. In addition, the Scholarship Committee at its meeting in April decided to increase the scholarship amount to $15,000 as a fi rst step towards doubling the scholarship and an appeal to do that is to be launched. The new application process based at the Australian National University this Professor John W. White year has worked well. A series of meetings between September and December AO CMG FAA FRS 2016 produced an excellent and very secure online system. We had excellent applicants and the long short list of 15 was exceptional. We thank Mr Gavin Research School of Chemistry Perri, Mr Jeffrey Guo and the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Marnie Hughes- Australian National University Warrington for their support in this process. Gavin and Jeffrey will continue to Canberra ACT 2601 be associated with the scholarship for continued improvements.

    Guide to completing Tier 4 (General) Student Online Application Form Last updated 2 November 2017 When you apply in your home country for a Tier 4 student visa you need to register for and complete an online application form (with the exception of applications made in North Korea where a paper form VAF9 and an Appendix 8 need to be completed – follow the links on page above ). You must have your CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) number from Oxford before you apply for your visa. For information about receiving your CAS, see the Tier 4 webpage. You will receive an email with your CAS number and other information you will need for completing the online application form. This email is your ‘CAS statement’. You cannot apply for your visa more than three months before your course start date as stated on your CAS. You must apply within six months of the CAS issue date. If your CAS was issued more than six months ago, contact your department or college to get a new one. In several places this Guide refers to UK Visas and Immigration’s Tier 4 Policy Guidance which sets out the exact requirements for a Tier 4 application. You will need to check this and follow the instructions very carefully.

  • Oxford Australia Newsletter September 2018
    Oxford Australia Scholarship Fund Newsletter June 2018 From the Chairman, Oxford It is always a pleasure to compile the newsletter and record the academic and Australia Scholarship Fund personal successes of past scholars. The Committee thanks you all for your input. This year we will send seven new scholars to Oxford and the quality of the entry to this year’s Scholarship meeting was again outstanding, the limit for the Committee set only by fi nancial constraints. The long short list was very long. We thank Oxford University for our participation in the Clarendon Scholarships. Our new application process, created last year, again worked very well but can always be improved and this coming year we will give special attention to privacy considerations. The Scholarship offi ce at the Australian National University has moved from the old Research School of Chemistry. We thank the Deputy Vice- Chancellor Professor Marnie Hughes-Warrington for facilitating this. The hiatus caused by the move has hopefully not disturbed communication. Last year in October we had the expected 20th anniversary celebratory lunch in St John’s College to welcome new and current students, others still resident in Professor John W. White Britain, and Senior Tutors of the participating Colleges. The Acting-President of AO CMG FAA FRS St John’s College, Rev Prof William Whyte, and one of our major benefactors, Mr David Clark, attended also. The photo shows the group.

  • AN INFORMAL GUIDE to PORTRAITS in TRINITY HALL Introduction
    PORTRAITS IN TRINITY HALL AN INFORMAL GUIDE TO PORTRAITS IN TRINITY HALL Introduction Nobody who has gone in and out of Cambridge colleges can miss the differences in atmosphere. Do college buildings shape the communities that live in them? Are we – the reader will forgive the pronoun, which is itself part of the mystery of college identity – what we are because of the configuration of our buildings? Do the walls convey a spirit which changes us and makes us behave in certain way? Whether the architecture explains it or not, each Cambridge college has a curious kind of personality. ‘Hall men and women’ know – though they rarely make that knowledge explicit – that ‘their college’ is the best and ‘the nicest’. It is “cosy” friendly, unpretentious and, in some mysterious way, welcoming. Several decades ago, a fomer Head Porter was irritated at the way the students and fellows chatted in the Porters’ Lodge and posted a note to remind undergraduates that the Porters’ Lodge was not the Junior Combination Room [Cambridge-Speak for ‘common room’] and that he would be obliged if they held their meetings elsewhere. Nobody took any notice and, as a wise and experienced Porter, he soon saw that the way students gathered in that space meant that Porters knew them well, could spot trouble and defuse it. I have heard two Porters and an undergraduate discussing her unexpectedly good Tripos results with every indication of genuine affection on the side of the Porters and pleasure at her success. So with these slightly diffuse introductory remarks, I welcome the reader to this guided tour of those who lived and worked here before our time and hope that both Trinity Hall members and visitors will find it entertaining to get to know the portraits and the persons whose faces stare at them from the walls.
