July 2025
Welcome to my July blog. I hope teaching staff are enjoying some down time before Semester 2 begins at the end of the month, although I know many colleagues remain busy marking exams. I also trust everyone across our campuses has managed to keep warm during the biting winter cold spells we’ve had lately.

Welcome to my first blog of 2025. I hope you enjoyed the summer break and the opportunity to spend time with friends and family, read some books, visit the beach, or do whatever activities you enjoy in your downtime.

Welcome to my December blog, in which I know it’s customary to look back on the year that was and reflect on some of our achievements from the last 12 months.
November 2024
As I write, we’re halfway through Semester 2 exams and nearing the end of another successful academic year at La Trobe. Approaching year’s end is a time to begin reflecting on what we have achieved during 2024 – and to look ahead to next year.

I am delighted with the excellent news announced yesterday about our position in the latest Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings.

I hope you have enjoyed the mid-semester break this week and are feeling refreshed for the last half of Semester 2 teaching.
August 2024
It’s been great to see our campuses come back to life with students returning for Semester 2 – there’s nothing like the buzz created by students socialising over coffee in between classes.
