Student Guild
The Student Guild believes that independence is essential to ensuring strong vibrant and dynamic student representation on campus. Without this fundamental principle, the Student Guild becomes a shadow of the University administration, without any credibility either on campus or in the community.
Provide opportunities for growth of student members in terms of recreational, sporting, social, intellectual, cultural, and community conscious pursuits, thereby creating a more vibrant campus culture and a better quality university life.

Students in Free Enterprise
SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) Australia is part of the SIFE Global organisation of countries participating in the development of students and their communities, through encouraging them to participate in ‘service learning’. It is a process that develops strategic links between students, their universities, their communities and both the private and public corporate sectors. Students use the knowledge they are gaining at university to teach others something that will benefit them with emphasis on initiative and innovation in the teaching process.
The scope of SIFE has been broadened since it was established in 1975 to encompass both teaching and learning through practical application of knowledge and skills gained at university in the wider community by means of student-designed outreach projects. SIFE programs are active at over 1,500 campuses in 39 countries. SIFE students are thinking globally and acting locally.
