It was also her idea to invite students, representatives from the University of Tasmania (UTAS) and other guests to sit at High Table. Though times may have changed, you’ll still find High Table teeming with Jane students and guests from UTAS, our alumni community, local and state government, and various professions.

  • Community Development Division Department of Premier and Cabinet MESSAGE from the PREMIER
    2009 Community Development Division Department of Premier and Cabinet MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER It is with great pleasure that I present the biographies of the women selected for inclusion on the 2009 Tasmanian Honour Roll of Women. The life stories of these women are inspirational. They have made a real difference in the lives of others and have assisted in building a culture of social inclusion. Their diverse stories reveal an impressive range of contributions to the Tasmanian community. Some of these women are quiet achievers, who have worked tirelessly for their local communities. Other women have made contributions at a level of state, national and international significance. The Honour Roll salutes women who have contributed so much to our wonderful community, from all walks of life and fields of endeavour, from humanitarian pursuits and community service, to business, science and the environment. The members of the Honour Roll have set a precedent that will continue to inspire all members of the Tasmanian community. Through this public recognition, we can share their stories and celebrate their achievements now and in the future. I commend these biographies to you and I’m left in no doubt that you will feel as inspired as I was when reading about the lives of these remarkable Tasmanian women.

  • Response to COVID-19
    Response to COVID-19 Student numbers, risk mitigation and the issue of fees, credits and refunds The issue of how members are dealing with student numbers, risk management and particularly, fees (see point 3 at page 3), has generated many queries. There is no uniform measure amongst the colleges and halls, however, here is a brief national snapshot provided by the Executive Committee and Dr Brenda Holt (Melbourne chapter). Further information will be provided as it becomes available. 1. Student numbers ACT ANU residents, especially domestic students, in the range of Halls, Colleges, Houses and Lodges have been encouraged to return home if safe to do so. As at 6 April there were still some 2,200 students in residence on campus, many of course international students unable to return home. John XXIII College has closed, with a small number of residents transferred to Wright Hall. New South Wales Numbers are down at all University of Sydney colleges ranging from St John’s full closure from 8 April to significantly fewer numbers at other colleges. St Andrew’s is accommodating just 22 (of 390) students. Students at UNSW’s halls of residence who have been unable to leave have been relocated to apartments with ensuites. Residency levels at UNSW’s Shalom College, New College and New College Postgraduate Village are approximately 50%. Levels at Warrane and Creston would be somewhat higher. Queensland Cromwell has paused operations until further notice and International House has closed operations with around twenty students in residence. St John’s has 15 students in self catered accommodation.
