It is exciting to report that the College community has a new MP in Dr Andrew Charlton who has won the seat of Parramatta for the ALP.  Andrew was in College 1997-99 and studied Economics and won the University Medal before heading to the London School of Economics and then Oxford to complete his doctorate as the NSW Rhodes Scholar for 2001. From 2008, through the period of the global financial crisis, he served as senior economic advisor to the Prime Minister of Australia and Australia’s senior government official to the G20 economic summits.

Anzac Day, traditionally commemorated at St Paul’s for many decades, is marked by the solemn Commemoration Service in the College Chapel. This year’s service was again the focal point for residents, hundreds of whom had been to the Dawn Service at the Cenotaph in Martin Place. Nearly 300 packed into the chapel that typically seats comfortably 180! The College choir and organ provided a magnificent musical tribute to the fallen whose names were ready by the Senior Student, Mr Henry Hughes and the Graduate House Prefect, Mr Hugh Schroder after they laid the wreath.  The Last Post and Rouse were sensitively played by Mr Hugh Jordan in Second Year and the Anzac Address was given by Army Chaplain Tim St Quintin. One of the prayers in the Order of Service to keep in mind as we contemplate war, particularly current strife in the world, is: Almighty God, in whose Kingdom

The Residential Colleges within the University of Sydney today acknowledge the release of the National Student Safety Survey (NSSS) results. The survey shows that Australian higher education institutions – universities, colleges, and purpose-built student accommodation providers – must continue working hard to ensure that all students are safe on campus. Sexual misconduct in any form is unacceptable, and is not tolerated. Our society must continue working through a range of complex societal issues to decrease the prevalence of misconduct and increase reporting. We are aware that the survey identifies issues in the residential setting, including purpose-built student accommodation providers and residential colleges. Like many of our colleagues around the country, the Residential Colleges within The University of Sydney are committed to the elimination of sexual misconduct within the community. One of the significant steps in our efforts to take action on this issue of was our participation in the cultural
