A recent life-changing experience (in more ways than one) demonstrated the real-world skills he’s developing through nursing and volunteering. 

At last year’s Melbourne Marathon, Drew found himself responding to not one but two cardiac arrests within the space of just 10 minutes.  

“You don’t really think about anything else in that moment except getting that person back,” Drew said. 

Remarkably, both patients survived. 

Drew says volunteering has significantly increased his confidence and capabilities as a nursing student, particularly when responding to emergencies. 

At the same time, studying nursing has given Drew a deeper understanding of the different patients and conditions he may encounter while volunteering. 

One of the highlights of Drew’s time at La Trobe so far has been putting his experience into practice during a recent rural placement at Warrnambool Hospital. 

“I think working ED at Warrnambool Hospital while on rural placement recently [has been a highlight], as I felt like I was able to help and make a difference with my experience,” he said. 

He also credits the people around him with making his university experience a positive one. 

For other La Trobe students considering volunteering with St John, Drew says it can be a big commitment but there’s also plenty to gain from the experience. St John volunteers must undertake relevant training before taking on clinical volunteering roles and Drew says students should be prepared to commit time to both training and volunteering. 

“If you have the time and discipline to commit with them then definitely do it because there’s so much to learn!” 

Drew has always known he wants to become an emergency nurse, with the goal of eventually moving into flight nursing. Looking further ahead, he hopes his nursing career will eventually take him overseas. 

“My goal has always been to move back overseas as a nurse, back where I used to live in BC/Alberta and help change the world for the better there.” 

Read the full story of Drew’s experience at the Melbourne Marathon on the St John Ambulance Victoria website.

Let’s decode university life together… 

Starting university is a bit like joining a TV show halfway through. 

Everyone else seems to know what’s going on. They’re casually talking about rubrics, consultations, and the census date, while you’re still trying to work out whether you’re in the right building. 

The good news? You catch on quicker than you think. 

The official definitions are easy enough to find. This isn’t that. This is the version I wish another student had explained to me in my first week- the little translations that make university life feel a whole lot less confusing. 

“It’s on LMS.” 

Let’s be honest… if you don’t know what LMS is yet, you will very soon. 

It’ll become your most-visited website before you realise it, and before long you’ll probably catch yourself saying, “Have you checked LMS?” Too. 
 
Need a quick introduction? Our What is the Learning Management System (LMS)? video is a great place to start. 

Once the first assignment rolls around, you’ll start hearing a whole new set of phrases. They sound intimidating at first, but they’re actually there to help. 

“Check the rubric.” 

First-year brain: 
“I’ll read it after I’ve finished writing.” 

Second-year brain: 
“Wait… the rubric is basically telling me how to get good marks.” 

A rubric is a marking guide that shows what you’ll be assessed on and what different grade levels look like. Don’t leave the rubric until the end, spending five minutes reading it before you start can save you a lot of guesswork later. 

“Have you booked a consultation with the tutor?” 

What you think it means: 
“Am I in trouble?” 

What it actually means: 

Not at all. 

Consultations are simply a chance to chat with your lecturer or tutor before you submit your work. Whether you want to test an idea or ask a question, they’re there to help. Think of them as one of university’s most underrated resources. 

“Don’t forget the Census date.” 

Unlike some of the other phrases on this list, this one’s more of a friendly reminder. 

You’ll hear people mention the Census date a lot because it’s important. You need to have your enrolment finalised by Census date, so it’s one of those dates worth adding to your calendar early. Future you will definitely appreciate it. 

But let’s be honest, staying organised all semester is a little harder than it sounds… 

Student thoughts 

Week 1: 
“I’ve colour-coded my calendar. I’ve got this.”  

Week 4: 
“Why do I suddenly have three assignments due… and how is it only Wednesday?” 

If that sounds familiar, welcome to university. 

Not everything about university revolves around assignments. Some of the phrases you’ll hear aren’t really “university lingo” at all- they’re just little moments that become part of campus life. 

“I’m just grabbing a coffee.” 

Translation: 

That’s usually the plan. 

What actually happens is you bump into someone from your tutorial, chat with a friend you haven’t seen since Orientation, wave at your tutor walking past, and suddenly your “quick coffee” has turned into a 20-minute catch-up. 

At some point, you’ll realise coffee runs at university are rarely just about coffee. 

“I’m going to the library.” 

Translation: 

Sometimes it means studying. 

Sometimes it means finally finding a quiet corner to finish the assignment you’ve been avoiding. 

Sometimes it means borrowing a charger because, somehow, yours is always sitting at home. 

And sometimes it means opening your laptop, chatting with your friends for half an hour and convincing yourselves that simply being in the library counts as being productive. 

Honestly… all of the above still count. 

“Let’s meet at Agora.” 

What you think it means: 
A quick catch-up before class. 

What it actually means: 
You’ll hear this phrase a lot, and before long, you’ll probably be saying it too. 

Need a coffee? Agora. 

Grabbing lunch? Agora. 

Meeting your group? Agora. 

Somewhere between your first week and your first assignment, it quietly becomes the unofficial meeting spot on campus. Before long, “Where should we meet?” turns into “See you at Agora.” 

The funny thing about university is that nobody teaches you this language, you simply pick it up along the way. 

One lecture becomes ten. One assignment becomes another. One coffee run turns into recognising familiar faces around campus. Before you know it, the words that once sounded completely foreign become part of your everyday conversations. 

So, if you’re still quietly Googling the occasional university term, don’t stress- we’ve all been there. And one day, without even noticing, you’ll catch yourself saying, “Just check the rubric,” like you’ve known what it meant all along.

When Emily McDonnell graduated from the Bachelor of Social Work in Bendigo in 2019, she couldn’t have known just how far her career would take her.

Since graduating, Emily has moved to the Northern Territory, where she has had the opportunity to learn, share, grow and work across nine First Nations Communities spanning more than 162,000 square kilometres. She has also worked in the international humanitarian space in the Pacific and, later this year, will support the next generation of social workers as a supervisor and field educator for students undertaking their social work placement in Nepal.

Along the way, Emily has also co-authored a journal article and a book chapter over the past two years, describing both as “another wonderful learning opportunity!”

Looking back on her time at La Trobe, Emily says the Bendigo campus opened doors she never expected.

“La Trobe presented so many beautiful opportunities for me, including a semester abroad in Sweden (in the winter!), my first placement in Broken Hill and my final placement in Nepal.”

Among those experiences, one stands out most.

“A highlight was being a part of the Bendigo Association of Social work Students (BASS) and creating opportunities to connect with others from all different years!”

For anyone considering a career in social work, Emily hopes they recognise the privilege that comes with the profession.

“I think it is a real privilege to call myself a social worker and remind myself constantly of this. It is a privilege to hold hope, for when others may not be able to at the time. A privilege to give but actually receive more, learn more and share more. Social work presents so many career opportunities, and opportunities that can take you to all different spaces and places.”

The post Where social work can take you appeared first on MyLaTrobe.

This blog was written by Semester 2 Storyteller, Niharika.

Before starting university, most of us build a very detailed picture of life here without ever actually experiencing it. Some of it comes from siblings, some from friends, a concerning amount from TikTok – plus the classic warning, “university is completely different from school,” offered with zero further explanation. 

Naturally, you arrive with assumptions. That support is only for emergencies. That career planning is a problem for future you. That once you’re enrolled, the hard part is over. My fellow students and I were no exception.

So, I asked around about what people believed before starting at La Trobe, what they actually discovered and what they wish someone had told them sooner. Here’s what we found…

Myth 1: Career planning is a final-year problem 

Vicky thought career events and workshops were basically reserved for second or third years – the “mature” students who’d already sorted out what they were doing and just needed to network their way into a job. 

Turns out that’s not how it works. Career Ready sessions, employer events and mentoring are open from semester one, and networking from the very start plays a bigger role than most first years realise. Vicky just assumed he wasn’t senior enough to show up yet. 

Myth 2: Support is only for when things go really wrong 

Tiffany assumed support services were something you turned to only once things had properly gone wrong – failing a subject, a full-blown problem. Nothing in her life felt “serious enough” to justify going. 

Turns out that’s not how it works. Study support isn’t a last resort – you can book in to plan out your semester in advance, sort your study approach before classes even start, and adjust as you go, rather than waiting until you’re behind to ask for help. And it’s not just study skills either – the same goes for wellbeing, careers, accessibility and financial assistance. 

Myth 3: You have to physically drag yourself to campus for everything 

Palak was convinced that if she wasn’t on campus, she basically didn’t exist to the university. Timetable clash – go in. Fee question – go in. Career appointment – obviously go in. She was having a full crisis about logistics for absolutely no reason. 

Turns out most of it doesn’t need a trip anywhere. Counselling, academic support, career appointments and general queries can be sorted through ASK La Trobe over email or phone, and subject coordinators are just an email away for anything specific to your unit. 

Myth 4: Enrolling is the finish line 

This one’s mine. I genuinely thought once I’d picked my subjects and enrolled, that was it – the hard part was done, and everything else was just showing up and hoping I’d picked right. 

Turns out I didn’t even know the basics. I had no idea you could still change your enrolment until the second week of classes or withdraw from a subject that wasn’t working out, let alone where to actually do it. Figuring out my study plan, when subjects were offered, what order things needed to go in – completely lost. ASK La Trobe sorted the first layer of confusion, and student advisors are there for the more in-depth stuff. 

Final findings 

This unofficial study of my friend group produced one clear result: almost everyone starts university carrying at least one myth. Maybe you think everyone else already has friends. Maybe you think support is only for emergencies. Maybe career planning belongs to some distant, more organised version of yourself who has their life together – spoiler, she doesn’t exist yet either. 

In reality, no one expects you to have it figured out immediately. You learn it by asking questions, checking the pages you’ve been ignoring, and realising many people around you are just as lost as you are. 

If there’s one thing we all wish we knew sooner, it’s this: you don’t have to wait until you feel completely lost before looking for support, connection, or opportunities. 

University might not turn out exactly the way you imagined – and honestly, that might be the best part. 

Tips for new students

There’s a lot to learn when you start uni. Here are more tips from students who’ve already been through it and want to share the things they wish they’d known, so you can start strong at La Trobe.

You Said, We Did is how we show you that we’re listening and taking real action based on what you’ve told us.

Ready to see your feedback in action? Here are four changes we’ve made recently. You can also head to the You Said, We Did page to see more ways your voice has shaped the La Trobe experience. 

You said: You want better placement support and more ways to build practical experience for your future career.

We did: We increased placement and industry project opportunities embedded in courses and strengthened pre-placement support, so you can access help in the way that works best for you.

This includes the PlaceReady LMS Hub, Welcome Zones and expanded in-person support, as well as the new Start Smart bundle to help international health students prepare before arriving in Australia.

You said: Cost-of-living pressures are impacting your studies and making it harder to manage the costs of food, placement and other study-related costs.

We did: We introduced new financial support, like the Distance Support Bursary that helps with the costs of travelling to placements.

We also made it easier to find and access financial support to help with cost-of-living pressures, including bursaries, financial counselling and food aid through the LTSU Food Bank at Bundoora and the LTSA Student Pantry at the Melbourne (City) and regional campuses.

You said: You want easier access to learning resources, study spaces and support, wherever you’re studying.

We improved access to learning wherever you’re studying through the Northern Study Hub in Broadmeadows and Epping, Country Universities Centres and other study hubs across the country.

We also improved the accessibility of resources in the LMS, making it easier to access alt text and video transcripts

You said: You want wellbeing spaces to feel calmer, more welcoming and easier to access.

We did: Supported by SSAF funds, we updated the sensory and physical environment of the Health and Wellbeing Centre to improve its comfort and accessibility, including adjusted lighting, sensory and calming resources, more accessible layouts and accessibility signage.

You said: You weren’t always sure what support is available to help you feel safe at uni, including where to go if you need help.

We launched the UniSafe app at our Melbourne (Bundoora) Campus, making it easier to get Security support when travelling around campus after dark.

We also launched our plan of how we will respond to the National Code for Gender Based Violence through Respect at La Trobe, including new programs and workshops.

You said: You want Orientation to be easier to access and fit around your schedule.

We did: We made Orientation easier to access in ways that suit you by launching on-demand sessions available online all year, welcoming online students to on-campus activities and combining key events into fewer days to better fit your schedule.

University has taught me a lot  but some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned happened outside the classroom.

Here are a few things I wish someone had known to tell me when I first started at La Trobe:

Whenever someone asks for university advice, the answers are usually pretty similar: stay on top of your assignments, don’t leave everything until the last minute, go to your lectures. 

But after spending the last few years at La Trobe, I’ve realised some of my most memorable moments have come from experiences beyond my assessments. When I look back, I don’t think about deadlines or exams first. I think about the people I’ve met, the events I almost didn’t go to, and the opportunities that completely changed my university experience. 

So instead of sharing another list of study tips, I thought I’d share a few things that made my time at university more meaningful. 

1. Don’t rush home after your last class

I know it’s tempting. Sometimes all you want to do is head home, put on comfy clothes and forget about university until tomorrow. 

But if you can, stay back every now and then. 

Go to a club event. Stop by the Agora if something’s happening. Check out a workshop hosted by one of the university teams. Grab the free barbecue (or gelato if you’re lucky). Even if you only stay for half an hour, you’ve stepped outside your normal routine. 

Some of my favourite memories happened because I stayed on campus a little longer than I planned. 

2. Get involved in something outside your course

For me, it started with volunteering with the La Trobe Leaders Program during Orientation. 

I signed up thinking it would just be a fun way to get involved but it ended up showing me a completely different side of university. I met students from all kinds of backgrounds, worked alongside staff, and got to see how much happens behind the scenes to create the community we experience every day. 

That one opportunity eventually led me to becoming a Senior Leader and now a Student MyLaTrobe Storyteller. None of those roles were part of some master plan – they simply came from getting involved and staying curious. 

3. Make time to learn things your degree won’t teach you

University isn’t only about what’s written in your course guide. 

Some of the sessions I’ve enjoyed most have been personality development workshops through Campus Consultancy run by Josh Farr in collaboration with La Trobe Leaders Program.

They’ve made me think differently about confidence, communication and believing in myself. Those aren’t things you’ll find in every textbook, but they’ve been just as valuable throughout my time at uni. 

4. Give campus time to feel familiar

I remember arriving at La Trobe and thinking the campus felt huge. 

Now I’ll be walking to class and bump into someone I volunteered with, wave to friends across the Agora, or have someone smile and say, “Hey, I’ve seen you in one of the La Trobe reels!” 

It still surprises me every time. 

Those little interactions slowly made campus feel less like somewhere I studied and more like somewhere I belonged. 

5. Remember that your university experience doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s

It’s easy to compare yourself with other people. Someone’s landed an internship. Someone else has joined three clubs. Another person already knows exactly what career they want. 

I definitely didn’t have everything figured out – and honestly, I still don’t. 

I’ve learned to follow what genuinely interests me, and somehow that’s led me to opportunities I never expected, from volunteering and leadership roles to sharing stories as a Student Storyteller. 

Looking back, the best parts of my time at La Trobe weren’t the things I had to do – they were the things I chose to do. 

So, if I could leave you with one piece of advice, it’d simply be this: make room for life outside your timetable. 

Stay back for the event. 

Talk to someone new. 

Join the club. 

Say hello to the person sitting next to you. 

You never know which ordinary day might become one of your favourite university memories. 

And if you happen to see me around campus – probably with an iced coffee in one hand and on my way to wherever I need to be next, come and say hi. I’d love to hear what your favourite part of La Trobe has been so far.

Uni life tends to move faster than you’d think. One minute you’re checking your timetable, the next you’re trying to remember a census date, find an event on campus, or figure out where everyone else seems to be getting their info from. Good news: La Trobe has channels designed to help with exactly that. 

How La Trobe communicates with you 

You’ll find student stories, reminders and campus fun on MyLaTrobe across Instagram, Facebook,YouTube and weekly newsletter plus the MyLaTrobe digital screens around campus. 

Beyond socials, the MyLaTrobe Hubholds the more practical stuff likestudent articles and information on university admin, careers, events and support. Anything genuinely important, like results, Census dates or fees, usually comes straight to your student inbox.  

Finally, the New to La Trobe webpage is your go-to for everything you need to feel prepared, connected and ready to make the most of your uni experience. Another handy spot is the ASK La Trobe webpage which includes common student-related FAQs. 

What’s on 

One thing we hear a lot is students not realising how much is happening on campus. Good news: the MyLaTrobe Student Events Calendar is available  through the MyLaTrobe Hub, and upcoming events also feature in the “What’s On” section of the weekly MyLaTrobe Student newsletter, emailed every Monday from two weeks before Orientation through to the final week of exams. 

Have your say 

Want more of a say in how La Trobe communicates with you? A new Student Communications Advisory Group is recruiting members to help shape how updates and information reach students. If you’ve got opinions on what’s working or what could improve, this is a great chance to express your interest. 

Now that you know how to stay in the loop, meet a couple of actual humans bringing some of those stories to life and helping make university feel a little less like a system and more like a place you belong. This semester, that’s us: your Student Storytellers, Niharika and Shubhi. 

Niharika Malviya: Still a Yes-Sayer, now with a Badge 

Hi, I’m Niharika, your Senior Student Storyteller for Semester 2, and somehow, I’ve gone from “still figuring it out” to being trusted to help someone else figure it out too. Slightly iconic, honestly! 

Last semester, I was one of the people running around campus filming reels, trying new ideas, and re-watching our content on loop like a full-time hobby. This semester, I’m back in the senior role, continuing to do what I love while helping guide Shubhi through the chaos, creativity and fun of storytelling, and I’m genuinely looking forward to her bold ideas, infectious energy, and dance-floor confidence. 

I’m proudly in my third year of a Bachelor of Business Analytics, still on my ongoing mission to make the most of university life, which right now looks like renewing my gym membership with the hopeful intention of using it, and saying yes to volunteering and new ways to get involved. 

Delighted to be back! Here’s to helping campus feel a little more connected, one story at a time. 

Shubhi Shrivastava: Your Campus Story Scout 

Hey! I’m Shubhi, a Bachelor of Business Analytics student and this semester’s Student Storyteller. If you’ve seen someone running between classes, a student event, and a content shoot with an iced coffee in hand … there’s a good chance it was me. I love discovering new opportunities around campus, meeting people from all different backgrounds, and finding creative ways to share student experiences. 

One thing you’ll quickly learn about me is that I find it very hard to sit still when there’s something happening on campus. Whether it’s volunteering with La Trobe Leaders, helping organise events, filming content, or jumping into a new opportunity, I genuinely enjoy being involved. Some of my favourite university memories have come from simply putting my hand up and giving something new a go. 

Something else about me – I absolutely love dancing. It’s a passion I’ve had for years, and I was lucky enough to bring it to campus by organising and hosting a dance event for students during my time as a Senior Leader. That experience reminded me just how powerful shared experiences can be – whether they come through music, events, or simply stories that help people feel seen and connected. 

As your Student Storyteller this semester, I hope to share the moments that make life at La Trobe memorable – from exciting events and hidden campus gems to the everyday experiences that often become the best stories. I’m excited to bring you along for the ride, and who knows… maybe I’ll even convince you to step out of your comfort zone too. 

Stay connected 

Before you scroll away, none of this happens without a handful of people behind the scenes. A big thank you to everyone who keeps it all running! 

Staying connected at university isn’t about memorising dates. It’s about knowing where to look and how to feel part of campus life. So, follow the socials, check your inbox, and if you spot us around campus, come say hi or be part of what we create. We would genuinely love that! 

The post Meet your 2026 Student Storytellers  appeared first on MyLaTrobe.

Have you ever opened your LinkedIn, looked at your profile picture and thought, “I’ll fix it later,”? Only to realise it’s still a cropped group photo, or a low-quality selfie, or a photo that no longer matches the professional image you’re trying to build. You’re not alone.

For many students, building a professional presence often sits somewhere between assignments, part-time work, exams and everything else university life brings. It’s important, but it can be difficult to know where to start.

That was exactly why La Trobe University’s Employability Team hosted the recent LinkedIn Headshot Session.

What seemed like a simple opportunity to get a professional photo quickly became something much bigger.

It was a chance for students to invest in themselves, learn about employability resources offered by Career Hub, and get useful advice from Career Ready Ambassadors.

A different kind of queue

On 19 May, students queued between classes, study sessions, assignment deadlines and lunch breaks.

Some arrived knowing exactly why they were there. Others stopped after spotting the setup and decided to participate.

One of the teachers in my class directed us towards
this event. professional
headshots are pretty expensive apparently, so I thought I’d jump on it!”
Ella – Media & Communications

What connected everyone was a shared understanding that professional opportunities don’t always begin with a job application. They begin with preparation! The LinkedIn Headshot Session, organised by La Trobe University’s Employability Team, created an opportunity for students to invest in building their professional online presence.

By the end of the session, 83 students had their professional headshots taken.

A community effort and confidence on a coat hanger

One of the standout features of the event wasn’t the camera; it was the suit jackets.

Not every student owns professional attire, and that shouldn’t be a barrier to building a professional presence. To help make the experience more accessible, the La Trobe Business School staff donated 10 suit jackets, with a further three donated from across the University.

Of the students who attended, approximately 70 per cent borrowed a jacket for their headshot allowing them to feel more confident, professional, and ready to put their best foot forward.

Beyond the camera

One of the highlights of the event as a Career Ready Ambassador was speaking with students and recording their video testimonials.

From placement and internship applications to graduate aspirations, everyone had a different story, but a shared goal: taking the next step in their career journey.

While some students were already familiar with Career Hub, others were discovering its resources for the first time.

Career development doesn’t always happen in lecture theatres or textbooks. It happens in conversations, through connections and when you decide to be curious and put yourself out there

More than a LinkedIn photo

For students, the session wasn’t just about getting a new LinkedIn photo. It was about being intentional in their approach to becoming an early career professional. Career readiness is about making decisions consistently over time – attending a workshop, reviewing or developing your resume, engaging in conversations, updating your LinkedIn profile and having a professional headshot photo taken.

To support you to build a professional LinkedIn profile, check out these resources: Rock Your LinkedIn Profile and Add a Photo and Stand Out.

What’s next?

For many students, the LinkedIn Headshot Session was a reminder that career development doesn’t always happen in lecture theatres or textbooks. It happens in conversations, through connections and when you decide to be curious and put yourself out there.

If you missed out on the LinkedIn photo shoot this time, don’t worry! Book in for the next LinkedIn Headshot session happening at the Melbourne (Bundoora) Campus on Wednesday 12 August.

The photoshoot will coincide with the Employability Expo which will bring together students, employers, career resources and opportunities all in one place. Come along and speak to employers, industry representatives and have your LinkedIn headshot taken at the same time!

What sport are you most looking forward to?

I’m looking forward to playing basketball the most but I am also looking forward to our chances at netball, I think we will surprise some teams.

Who is the player to watch? 

I think our other captain Jayla is the player to watch. She played some big minutes last year and looks poised to go to the next level. I think a combination of her and Keira West will get us out of the group stage for the first time.

What is your favourite part of the week? 

Other than the sports of course, my favourite part of the week is being able to catch up with mob. Not only from La Trobe but other schools. It’s my fourth year and I’ve met plenty of people that I enjoy having a yarn with when I get the chance to see them at the Games.

What is your go to karaoke song?

Probably wouldn’t catch me dead doing kareoke but if I had to pick one song it would be ‘Something So Strong‘ by Crowded House.

We wish Morgan and the team good luck at the upcoming Indigenous Nationals! Follow La Trobe Indigenous on Instagram to stay in the loop.
