Vice-Chancellor's message
We are in the middle of one of my favourite annual events at our University: the Children’s University graduations in Bonython Hall. Over a three week period, more than 3,000 excited young children will visit the North Terrace campus, dressed in their graduation robes and accompanied by their proud families and supporters. This month we will have 12 graduations, and I wish to thank all my colleagues whose contributions to the many aspects of this program make it a reality, and a success.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor's message
I’ve recently returned to the University as DVCA, and I was so pleased that my return coincided neatly with graduations on the North Terrace campus. Seeing graduates celebrating with their family and friends is the clearest reminder there is about the value of our work, and the important role that higher education plays in transforming lives.
