2021 Welcome Weeks

Program of Events 6 February – 21 February

Jane Student Club Mission Statement

We the Jane Franklin Hall Student Club strive to create an environment that is safe, inclusive, wholesome and enjoyable. We will achieve this through organised events and activities during the welcome weeks which support and foster these values.

Statement on the College Culture of Jane Franklin Hall 2021

At Jane, we believe strongly in honesty and transparency. We have not - and never will - say we are perfect. What we will commit to is our continued vigilance in providing a supportive and enriching environment for every student.

Jane is a values-based community. We explicitly advocate respect. We do this by:

• Requiring all members of the Jane community to sign a Code of Conduct each year agreeing to act respectfully towards their peers, regardless of race, culture, age, abilities, religion, gender alignment or sexual orientation – and puling students up if they breach our standards.

• Forbidding sexual misconduct, drug use, hazing and bullying. • Acting swiftly in referring matters to the police and/or the University, or in

asking residents to leave College if they are considered a threat to other members of the community.

• Educating our students about respectful relationships through compulsory online and face-to-face workshops during Welcome Weeks.

• Prohibiting derogatory, sexist and offensive chants or songs. • Actively working to improve inclusion at the College. • Mentoring, encouraging, and training our residential staff and student

leaders to promote a safe and inclusive collegiate environment, one that fosters positive culture within the Jane community.

• Actively challenging our students to accept responsibility as young adults.

In addition, Jane:

• Welcomes the recommendations of Change the Course, the 2017 Australian Human Rights Commission Report on sexual assault and sexual harassment at Australian Universities.

• Is fully supportive of the University of Tasmania’s response to Change the Course and participated in an independent review, commissioned by the University of Tasmania and conducted by Nous Consulting in late 2018.

• Commissioned our own external review in 2019 from former Chancellor of the University of Tasmania, Mr Damien Bugg QC.

We are pleased that the reviews found nothing of concern at our College.

However, this does not mean that we will stop improving our culture at Jane. Our College Council’s Sub-Committee on Culture continues to be active and is guided by the recommendations made in former Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick’s Report, Cultural Renewal at the University of Sydney Residential Colleges.

We don’t see any of the above actions as the final word. We know that honest review must be unceasing as we strive towards providing a positive collegiate experience for all our students. As the leaders of our college, we commit wholeheartedly to all considered, compassionate measures to strengthen our community: this, we believe, is the only way to truly deliver a life-enhancing experience for all at Jane.

Alcohol at Jane during Welcome Weeks

Some residential Colleges are dry: Jane is not. At Jane, we allow residents who are over 18 to drink alcohol. As a rule of thumb our guiding principle for alcohol consumption is providing you don’t damage yourself, others, property or reputation in any shape or form, then you can have a drink.

The reason for our approach is because, in a society that allows adults to consume alcohol, we believe it is important for our students to learn how to drink responsibly. This means, amongst other things:

• knowing your limits

• saying no

• being able to enjoy yourself without drinking alcohol

• never forcing anyone to drink alcohol, either by subtle coercion or by overt pressure

• allowing those who don’t drink to not drink - and respecting their decision

• understanding the consequences of drinking too much

• understanding that many people are confronted by a culture of too much alcohol

• understanding that excessive alcohol consumption can bring out aggression, damage relationships, cause people to do things they would not otherwise so, and sometimes commit dangerous - or sadly even criminal – acts.

• accepting that drinking alcohol can negatively affect long-term health.

Many students at Jane choose not to drink either because they don’t like the taste, they can’t afford it, they’re on medication, they don’t like what it does to people or it is not part of their family or cultural habits. That is totally OK.

Because Jane has people with different attitudes towards drinking, our Welcome Weeks focus on respecting everyone’s rights to socialise in their different ways. At Jane, we have a policy that 50% of all the days that make up Welcome Weeks must be dry days and 50% are days where alcohol is allowed.

To be very clear: on a dry day NO alcohol must be consumed on the Jane premises.

While we have no hesitation in strictly disciplining those who breach this rule, we hope we never need to. Part of being in our community is respecting all: we hope that the same level of trust we give in not being a dry college is reciprocated in the behaviour and actions of our students. That is the Jane way.

Help is at hand

We also know some people may need some support to manage their alcohol habits. That is OK, too.

You are encouraged to approach a Senior Resident, a member of the Student Club Committee or the Dean of Students if you think some extra help may be needed.

Welcome Weeks – 6 of February to the 21 of February

Week 1 is an entire week of Jane events designed for our new students to feel comfortable in their new home and ready for university. Week 1 begins on Registration day and includes the First Year Formal Dinner. Come prepared for excursions, fun and games and information session all provided by the Jane Franklin Hall team and the Student Club Committee. Meet other students, make friends and please feel at home.

Week 2 is a combination of Jane events and the University of Tasmania O-Week. The university will have a range of orientation sessions that you can attend. Make sure you get your student ID and any admin that is needed and check for compulsory session for your faculty. If you don’t have any university sessions then relax at Jane and enjoy the activities provided by the Student Club Committee. Welcome Weeks end with the Commencement Dinner on the 20 February and uni begins on the 22 February.

Healthy Relationships.

Presented by Dr Tessa Opie

Tessa’s approach to working with young people is evidence-

based, sex positive, and also harm reduction focused.

FPB

It actively requires young people and young adults to

consciously consider their relationship values, attitudes, and

expectations, in a social climate that feeds us misleading

and often harmful messages about sex and relationships.

She believes that addressing these issues must involve

robust and pragmatic discussions that critically explore the

prevailing social climate.
