La Trobe University

Our Motto: “Changing Our Community"

Individually we can’t, but together we can make a difference. From one person to one community, SIFE La Trobe is committed to the idea of “Changing The World". We started our team in February 2005. Since our aim was to ensure sustainability and feasibility with our projects, we focused the activities on our region. Regular weekly meetings strengthened our commitment and team spirit and provided room for productive discussions and planning.

In February 2007, we tackled our biggest project to date with our LIFE (Literacy Is For Everyone) conference, followed by an extension of our HSBC program by creating a program for different ethnic communities within Sunraysia. Over the past few years we have educated our community with projects designed at both primary and secondary schools in both Victoria and New South Wales.

In the past twelve months we have been actively working on LIFE stage two and commenced a new project called Project RED - Reducing Environmental Damage and a newly designed HSBC project at Mildura South Primary School. Have a look at this in more depth in our projects page. We have formed partnerships with many organisations within our region and are now being asked for assistance. We're off to Brisbane to compete at the Nationals - we will keep you posted.
