Ms Juanita PerezConvocation Officer as Secretary

1. WelcomeIn opening the Second Ordinary Meeting for 2013, the Warden of Convocation, Adjunct Professor Warren Kerr AM, welcomed the following guests:ÌÌ The Honourable Justice James Edelman, the guest

speaker for the evening;ÌÌ Professor Alex Cohen AO, former Chancellor; ÌÌ Professor Alec Cameron, the Acting Senior Deputy

Vice-Chancellor; ÌÌ Mr Cameron Barnes, Guild President; ÌÌ Ms Brenda Tournier, Associate Director, Alumni Relations

and Community Engagement; as well as:ÌÌ Mr Paul McCann AM, Deputy Warden of Convocation; ÌÌ members of the Council of Convocation; ÌÌ Convocation elected members of Senate; and ÌÌ Convocation members and their guests.

2. ApologiesThe Warden noted apologies from the Dr Michael Chaney AO CitWA, the Chancellor; Dr Ken Michael AC CitWA, former Chancellor and Governor; Professor Paul Johnson, the Vice-Chancellor and over 500 other members of Convocation.

3. Minutes of the First Ordinary Meeting 2013

A copy of the minutes of the First Ordinary Meeting 2013 appeared at Attachment A of the Second Ordinary Meeting 2013 booklet.

The motion to accept the minutes of the First Ordinary Meeting held on Friday 15th March 2013 was proposed by Dr Fran Pesich and seconded by Dr Susan King. The motion was carried.

4. Business arisingAt the First Ordinary Meeting of Convocation held on 20th March 2013, a member of Convocation, Mr Michael Kile, indicated that he was still awaiting response on a query he had raised at the Second Ordinary Meeting held in 21st September 2012. This query related to the use of the UWA logo on a website Shaping Tomorrow’s World.

As Adjunct Professor Kerr was unaware of this query, following the First Ordinary Meeting where he was officially elected the Warden of Convocation, Adjunct Professor Kerr immediately contacted Mr Kile to ascertain the background to the query. He had then facilitated a response from the University’s Acting Director of Public Affairs, Ms Janine MacDonald who advised that since the website was not a UWA website, nor was the University an associated affiliation, she would be contacting those who were responsible for the website to advise them that the UWA logo and references of affiliation with UWA should be removed from the website.


There was no other business arising from the minutes.

5. CorrespondenceFollowing the First Ordinary Meeting, the Warden had received a letter from another member of Convocation, Dr Bruce Hartley. Dr Hartley requested that consideration be given to video recording the proceedings of the Ordinary Meetings, so that other members of Convocation who were unable to attend an Ordinary Meeting could still be able to receive updates on the activities of the University.

Prior to receiving Dr Hartley’s letter, only audio recordings of Convocation’s Ordinary meetings were posted on the Convocation website. The Warden was happy to report that the Council of Convocation has now made arrangements for all future Ordinary Meetings, commencing with this meeting, to be video-recorded and made available on the Convocation website.

These recordings will be made available together with the videos on the roles and responsibilities of Convocation on the Convocation website. The Warden encouraged all present at the meeting to visit the Convocation website (the format of which has recently been enhanced) at www.convocation.uwa.edu.au .

6. Vice-Chancellor’s reportThe Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Johnson, was unable to attend the Second Ordinary Meeting. A copy of the Vice-Chancellor’s report was contained in Attachment B of the Second Ordinary Meeting 2013 booklet.

The Acting Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Alec Cameron presented the Vice-Chancellor’s report.

Professor Cameron highlighted the following items of the Vice-Chancellor’s report.

Academic ranking of world universitiesThe University has moved up five places internationally since last year’s ranking of being 96 in the world; the university has now risen to 91 in the world. Nationally, the University has overtaken the University of Sydney to gain 4th place in Australia.

UWA Gives BackThe Vice-Chancellor has visited a number of regions of Western Australia to take part in the UWA Gives Back project. The purpose of the UWA Gives Back project is to highlight the work the University does in the regions, to engage directly with students in remote and regional schools and to show students the relevance of the University’s research to local communities and industries.

UWA signs with CourseraThe University recently signed an agreement with Coursera, one of the world’s leading online tertiary education providers. Coursera will provide the site for a series of new high-quality online courses to be developed by UWA. By entering into this agreement, the University aims to give students the experience of world-class study with leading academics in internationally significant areas of learning and research. Through Coursera, the University also aims to raise its profile internationally.

University fundingThe University is currently facing a period of considerable budgetary pressure following Federal Government funding cutbacks to tertiary education. In response to the cutbacks, the University is undergoing a series of functional reviews to manage expenditure, savings and plans to increase revenue. Some changes to the structure and operations of the University’s administration units have been proposed to ensure that the University’s administrative structure is fully aligned with the core objectives of the University. A list of the proposed changes was included in the Vice-Chancellor’s report that was contained in Attachment B of the Second Ordinary Meeting 2013 booklet.

Acting Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Cameron, further reported that the University will be launching very shortly the Centenary Campaign, its major fundraising campaign. Funds raised will be put towards new buildings and other university initiatives.

Professor Cameron also reported that with the recently proposed Local Government boundary changes, the University’s main campus will be under the jurisdiction of the City of Perth.

7. Guild President’s reportThe Warden invited Mr Cameron Barnes, Guild President, to present his report to Convocation. Mr Barnes spoke to the Guild President’s report. A copy of the text of the Guild President’s Report appeared at Attachment C of the Second Ordinary Meeting 2013 booklet.

Partnership with the UniversityThe Guild President highlighted that the Guild’s main focus in 2013 has been about partnership with the University and aligning their strategic direction with that of the University.

Operational Priorities PlanThe Guild has developed its first Operational Priorities Plan (OPP). This OPP taps into areas where collaboration with the University administration, Convocation and students can deliver real outcomes to all bodies involved. One example of this is the development of the Guild Volunteer Hub where the Guild works with faculty societies to develop ‘skilled volunteering programs’ to allow students to use their degree

its development. To ensure that the correct balance was achieved for current needs, the Council of Convocation has been working to dovetail its strategic planning process with that of the University.

UWA 2020: Preparing for SuccessIn response to the Vice-Chancellor’s discussion paper titled UWA 2020: Preparing for Success, the Warden noted that the Council of Convocation had earlier in the day submitted a paper expressing its support for the key principle outlined in this Discussion Paper, that the University’s internal structure and related management responsibilities should align with its core institutional priorities.

Electronic votingAnother major initiative that the Council of Convocation has actively pursued in the past six months is the investigation of the introduction of electronic voting for Convocation and Senate elections. The Council believes that this initiative will result in greater online interaction with the members of Convocation, an increased participation rate and a more timely response (especially for overseas members) whilst reducing the overall cost per vote.

Following investigations into the viability of electronic elections, the Council of Convocation has now approved use of allocated funding for the employment of a Project Coordinator to investigate all the implications of electronic voting and to assist the Statutes Committee representatives liaise with the University’s General Counsel regarding the amendments required to the relevant Statutes to enable electronic voting. He indicated that if funding for this initiative is continued, it may be possible to implement electronic voting within two years.

Collaboration with the Office of Development and Alumni RelationsOver the past six months, substantial progress has been made in improving collaboration with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations through regular meetings with Ms Brenda Tournier, the newly appointed Associate Director of Alumni and Community Relations. The Warden then invited Ms Tournier to give a brief overview of her role and her aspirations for connecting with the graduates of UWA.

Ms Tournier, commented that she has great hopes for graduate engagement with the University. Ms Tournier expressed her gratitude to the Warden, the Council of Convocation and other graduate associations of the University who have welcomed her and helped her everyday to understand the University, its people and its history.

Ms Tournier also took the opportunity to reinforce to the audience how proud the University is of its graduates, how appreciative the University is of graduate involvement and

skills to help the community and enhance their student learning experience.

Online coursesThe Guild President also stated that student demands are changing. More students need to work during the week; as a result, students are accessing their course information online more. This is an area which the Guild is very interested to develop further in order to enhance the student learning experience.

Environmental sustainabilityThe Guild has also taken an initiative to advancing environmental sustainability. In 2013 the Guild has reduced their carbon emissions by 20 per cent through undertaking initiatives such as an energy audit and finding more sustainable ways of handling waste. The Guild has also put in a proposal to invest $100,000 to install 30kwH solar panels to run the Guild Refectory.

8. Warden’s reportThe Warden, Adjunct Professor Warren Kerr AM, spoke to his report. A copy of the Warden’s Report appears at Attachment D of the Second Ordinary Meeting 2013 booklet. The Warden commented on a few issues from his report.

Anniversary yearConvocation celebrated its 100th year anniversary this year on 4 March. This celebration was commemorated with group photo of 100 graduates in front of St George’s Hall in Hay Street in the Perth CBD. The Convocation Council has also commissioned a Chronicle of major events in the history of Convocation. This is currently being compiled and will be available next year.

Strategic planThe Convocation Council has been developing a strategic plan that will ensure Convocation remains relevant and continues to fulfil its charter for the next century. The Warden noted that Convocation’s key roles were listed in the UWA Act and Statutes as outlined in Attachment D of the Second Ordinary Meeting 2013 booklet.

Over the past 100 years, Convocation has ascribed differing priorities to these roles. While the representative role has remained fairly constant, initially during the last century the focus was on governance issues which then gave way to the needs of graduates and now through the use of social media, there is the potential for greater interaction between graduates and the university to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

The Warden reported that part of the challenge in developing a strategic plan for Convocation was to achieve the right balance between Convocation’s roles with the needs of the University at different periods of


11. Other businessUniversity mottoThe Warden reported that a letter had been received from Ms Margaret Pinchback regarding the University’s motto. Ms Pinchback was concerned that the University motto had changed from “Seek Wisdom” to “Achieve International Excellence”. The Warden responded to Ms Pinchback that the University’s motto remains “Seek Wisdom” and that “Achieve International Excellence” was only used as a promotional tag line.

UWA Historical Society Centenary projectDr Joan Pope OAM announced that as part of its Centenary project, the UWA Historical Society was compiling a full list of the University’s first members of the Senate, staff, students, and importantly the first members of Convocation. Dr Pope asked those in attendance to provide her with any information (names) of these people to help complete the list.

ACROD parking baysA question was raised from the floor regarding who had jurisdiction for the allocation of ACROD parking bays on the university campus. The Warden offered to take the question on notice and follow-up on this matter.

Underwood Avenue bushlandMr Eric Lawson, an agriculture graduate of UWA, indicated that he has had a life-long interest in the environment of WA, and specifically the Underwood Avenue bushland owned by UWA. He has concerns regarding the University’s plans to sell off this bushland because this would deprive a few unique species of wildlife (including the black cockatoo) that inhabit this bushland of their natural habitat and asked whether the meeting would be prepared to support a motion not to sell the Underwood Avenue bushland.

Mr Colin Campbell-Fraser, former Senior Advisor of UWA, who has been involved in many major policy issues for the University over the years, including the future of Underwood Avenue bushland, was invited to address this issue.

Mr Campbell-Fraser reported that this land was originally used as farmland and had not been natural bushland for many decades. Upon acquisition by the University, the University has complied with all EPA requirements and had then used the farmland as a research station. Mr Campbell-Fraser advised that studies have shown that the black cockatoos do not inhabit nor feed from this bushland – they fly over the bushland. He stated that the reduction in the numbers of black cockatoos was a result of a reduction in farmland.

Mr Colin-Fraser gave his personal view that the land belongs to the University, it is a significant asset, and its use has been designated to fund education purposes. Various

contributions, and to tell them how important graduates will be in helping the University to achieve its goals in the future.

Ms Tournier said that her dream is that one day, a vast majority of graduates will know without hesitation, the value of connection with their University; that they will have found personal meaningful ways to work with and through the University to make a difference in their communities and in the world. Ms Tournier also said that she was looking forward to working with the Warden and the Council of Convocation to achieve that outcome.

Honours CommitteeThe Warden then announced that the Council of Convocation has recently a recommendation to establish an Honours Committee to take on responsibility for the University of nominating and preparing the submissions required for those worthy of recognition to be considered by the Australian Honours Secretariat in Canberra.

The Warden encouraged all those attending the meeting to consider nominating worthy recipients who they believed should be considered for an Order of Australia.

Membership CommitteeThe Warden announced that another initiative of the current Council has been to establish a Membership Committee to fully consider the implications of each membership category.

Convocation’s Centenary Gift to the UniversityIn concluding his address, the Warden thanked everyone responsible for Convocation’s centenary gift to the University, the Shaun Tan designed sundial “Hours to Sunset” installed in Venetian glass mosaic tiles on the west-facing wall of the University Club. He invited those attending to inspect this fine addition to the University artworks following the conclusion of the meeting.

He noted that Shaun Tan is the first UWA graduate to win an Academy Award.

9. Convocation Officer’s reportThe Convocation Officer’s report appeared as Attachment E of the Second Ordinary Meeting 2013 booklet. Those attending the meeting were asked to review the list of Convocation members whose whereabouts have become unknown since the First Ordinary Meeting of Convocation on 15 March 2013 and to notify the Convocation Officer if their contact details were known to them.

10. Audit reportThe independent Financial Audit Report for Convocation year ending 31 December 2012 was provided for information. The Financial Audit Report appeared as Attachment F of the Second Ordinary Meeting booklet.

The University of Western Australia | 07

Vice-Chancellor’s and Executives of the University over the years have undertaken to direct any income to education and not to be spent ad hoc. We would be denying future generations of a valuable education if we do not utilise an asset within the bounds of the law, which the University is doing.

The University has conceded to protect at least one-third of the area of that land for environmental purposes. There have been proposals to put up an indigenous cultural centre in that piece of land in recognition of the cultural and historical significant aspects of the land.

There being no further business, the Warden declared the meeting closed at 7.11pm and introduced the guest speaker for the evening, The Honourable Justice James Edelman, to speak on the topic ‘Challenges for university education in the next century’.

He noted that the First Ordinary Meeting of Convocation for 2014 will be held at 6pm on Friday 21 March 2014, at The University Club of Western Australia.


and prosperity of the people of Western Australia’ through educational and research activities that are relevant to the circumstances of the 21st century.

Management is currently developing a Strategic Plan for the period 2014-2020. The plan establishes the values and characteristics of the University that infuse and guide all aspects of our operation and behaviour. It will identify strategic objectives for us to meet across our key areas of education, research, engagement and operations. It will also highlight the broad and longer-term objectives and ambitions of the university.

Size and composition of the universityIn February, I submitted a paper for discussion to Senate on the size and composition of UWA. The paper outlined how this size and composition of the university has changed over the past decade, drew comparisons with other universities at the local, national and international level and considered several future growth scenarios, drawing inferences about the resource implications.

Over the past decade, the Go8 research intensive universities have grown substantially and this growth has been achieved through a disproportionate increase in both international and in postgraduate students (particularly graduate coursework students). UWA is an outlier because, although it has grown substantially, this growth has been focussed on domestic undergraduate students.

There are many possible future scenarios for the university, but certainly a shift from passive to active development means that management and Senate will be faced with a greater set of possible futures. I have asked the university and Senate to give thought to the future size and shape of UWA and I have identified some key factors over which we have control and about which decisions will need to be taken.

My personal view is that there is a risk of compromising quality in universities which grow rapidly and which outsource core educational or research functions; on the other hand, quality will also be compromised if the resources available per student and per researcher fall below those in peer institutions.

Strategic issues

UWA 2020 / Functional Reviews / Office for Operational ExcellenceThe first stage of the UWA 2020 project was implemented 1 January 2014. This included a functional alignment of the University’s Executive and professional services to our core institutional priorities of education, research, external engagement, and corporate services, and the establishment of the Office for Operational Excellence (OOE).

The second stage will involve functional reviews of our administrative activities to identify ways in which we can operate more effectively and efficiently. The OOE, led by Winthrop Professor Ian McArthur, will coordinate these reviews (www.ooe.uwa.edu.au). It is my hope that functional reviews will provide an opportunity for UWA staff to stand back from the pressures of day-to-day operations and consider the bigger picture, namely our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing external environment.

To do nothing is not an option if we are to maintain our position as an internationally excellent university. We must grasp the opportunities offered for change.

Strategic PlanThe University’s Centenary provided the opportunity to reflect on its achievements and to plan for the future. Our responsibility now is to determine how the university can best pursue its statutory objective, ‘to advance the welfare

The first cohort of New Courses students will complete their Cycle 1 degrees in December 2014 and will be available to enrol for graduate programs at the beginning of 2015. The new professional masters programs in Law, Medicine and Engineering (JD: Juris Doctor, MD: Doctor of Medicine, MPE: Master of Professional Engineering) have all moved to graduate level, and Masters courses are available or being developed in other areas. The University will now need to consider how to best accommodate and serve this expected increase in graduate students. Management across the Faculties and Divisions have been asked to scenario plan for this short-term eventually.

Education FuturesThe Education Futures Project is an important new strategic initiative in recognition of the need to develop and adapt our educational offering in order to meet the changing expectations of students and take advantage of technological advances and it will play a key role in setting a vision for the delivery of education at UWA in the next 5-10 years. The visioning component of the Education Futures was developed in 2013, with extensive consultation of stakeholders inside and outside of UWA. We will move into a planning phase for this project in 2014, with the identification of key projects to realise this vision.

Another important development in 2013 was the launch of UWA’s first MOOCs (Massive Open On-line Courses), and our subsequent decision to join the Coursera partnership. The MOOC phenomenon has attracted a lot of interest (and hype) in the university sector globally in 2013. MOOCs are effectively free courses offered exclusively online by some of the world’s leading universities. There are a range of motivations for MOOCs, ranging from visions to massively expand access to higher education, to commercial interests to develop profitable business in higher education.

The interest of UWA has been to use MOOCs to project the strengths and capabilities of this university to a global audience, and raise our international recognition and reputation, and, also, to align ourselves (via Coursera) with some of the world’s leading universities in, effectively, an on-line learning laboratory investigating the development and provision of on-line education.

Brand and reputationThe environment for higher education has radically changed. In an increasingly competitive and commercial world for universities we need to recognise that prospective students, researchers, partners and staff now have more choice than ever. This reflects a society in which people are becoming more demanding and selective than ever before.

This situation has led the University to consider whether its brand is competitively positioned for the next ten years and beyond and this process involves a deep, professional and robust investigation of the UWA brand. It is a strategic project, not simply a review of marketing communications and brand identity.

New Budget tool and resource modelThe University is in the process of reviewing its resource model in order to develop new principles for use in the University Budget in 2015. Following extensive consultation and Go8 benchmarking, a new resource model design has been endorsed, based on the ‘as earned view’ concept which will bring our practices in line with the majority of Go8 institutions and financial management better practice.

New Century Campaign In October 2013, UWA launched the most significant fundraising campaign in the University’s history with the announcement of a $65million gift from Andrew and Nicola Forrest. This donation, the largest single philanthropic donation in Australian history, is aimed at attracting the best minds to UWA from around the world and firmly establishing Western Australia as an international innovation hub.

The New Century Campaign target of $400million was announced at a gala dinner attended by Prime Minister Tony Abbott, WA Premier Colin Barnett, WA Governor Malcolm McCusker and hundreds of special guests. The priorities of the campaign, which will wind up in 2017, are: scholarships and access programs for students; research chairs and postdoctoral fellowships to support rising research stars; research chairs; the Engineering Zone, interdisciplinary research and teaching facilities; and a community-focused Indigenous cultures museum.

Establishing a new Indigenous cultures museum at UWA is an integral step in creating a future in which cultural understanding is recognised as central to responsible global citizenship. The museum will be an inspirational and iconic focal point in our city and State, representative of the importance of Australian Aboriginal, Asian and Melanesian cultures.

The University is fortunate to have been entrusted with one of the world’s finest collections of Australian Aboriginal cultural material and heritage, together with collections of Asian and Melanesian art and cultural artefacts. Due to space limitations, the current temporary home for these collections allows less than one per cent to be displayed at any one time. The Indigenous cultures museum will provide long-overdue access to the exceptional Ronald and Catherine Berndt Collection, the UWA Collection, as well as future collections and the prestigious Centre for Rock Art Research and Management.


The Engineering Zone projectDr Peter Lilly, currently working as Senior Manager Research and Development at BHP Billiton, has been appointed Director of UWA’s Engineering Zone project. The Engineering Zone is the key teaching and learning facility of UWA’s $400 million New Century Campaign fundraising initiative. The Engineering Zone project will deliver modern learning and research facilities. It will represent the largest investment in engineering education in WA’s history.

This project aims to revolutionise engineering education and research, by creating an inspiring physical space for academics, staff and students that embodies the Faculty of Engineering’s vision and values of collaboration, innovation and excellence. The E-Zone will provide the physical, technological and resource infrastructure to enable an innovative, multi-disciplinary approach to real-world problem solving.

Engineers will work with the best minds from other disciplines, including business, science and humanities, to tackle issues of sustainability, living standards and resource management. Dr Lilly has had considerable expertise leading major initiatives as Director of WA School of Mines, Director of the CSIRO Minerals Down Under Flagship, Executive Director of Curtin’s Institute of Minerals and Energy and National President of Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

With a focus on Engineering for Remote Operations, the Engineering Zone will enrich Western Australia’s reputation as a global centre for excellence in energy and minerals resources. The Engineering Zone will boost our reputation for innovation and technology research and will stimulate new economic growth businesses and industries.

The new facilities will support systems thinking design and research via our research and education programs. It will significantly enhance industry-student interaction, ensuring UWA engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists continue to be the most sought-after in the world. BHP Billiton has invested $12 million in the Engineering Zone, which is due for construction completion in 2020.

Poche gift $10m towards Centre for Aboriginal HealthOne of Australia’s leading philanthropists, Greg Poche AO and his wife Kay, have provided $10 million to UWA to create a WA-based centre for Indigenous health. Mr Poche – who has donated more than $105 million to causes around Australia – is the former founder and owner of Star Track Express.

The establishment of a Poche Centre for Indigenous Health at UWA will bring together the University’s considerable expertise, programs and resources in Aboriginal health in

a strong partnership. Around Australia, the goal of Poche centres is to significantly improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and stronger social, spiritual and emotional wellbeing.

The new UWA Poche Centre for Indigenous Health joins sister centres at Flinders University in Adelaide and the University of Sydney. Mr Poche has previously said publicly that “it would be a tragedy to live a privileged, wealthy life without doing good for other people”.

Although there have been recent improvements to the health outcomes for indigenous Australia, more needs to be done to close the gap. For Indigenous people born between 2005 and 2007, life expectancy was estimated to be 67.2 years for males and 72.9 years for females, around 10-11 years less than non-Indigenous Australians.

In the Zone Business ForumThe next In The Zone Business Forum has been scheduled for 1 May 2014. This CEO-level event will focus on deepening Australia’s trade and diplomatic networks in Asia, and further develop high-level relationships between the government, business and academic sectors in the region. The Hon Julie Bishop, Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs, has confirmed that she will attend this prestigious event, as well as the Premier of Western Australia, the Hon Colin Barnett.

Key themes for 2014 will include sustaining regional economic growth, non-traditional security concerns such as food and energy security and demographic change, the maintenance of secure regional trading routes and a free-flow of trade and investment between Australia and the region.

The In the Zone initiative was developed to reflect the fact that Perth shares the Asian time zone with the majority of the world’s population, our core trading partners and the economic powers of the twenty-first century. Since the In The Zone conference series began in 2009, we have brought together a range of eminent government, business, science and community leaders from countries including Japan, China, Korea, India, Singapore, Myanmar and Indonesia, to address contemporary issues and opportunities and build long-term inter-regional networks.

Vale Winthrop Professor David PlowmanOn Sunday 22 December 2013, Winthrop Professor David Plowman AM passed away after a short illness. David was an outstanding academic scholar and university administrator. David was the author and co-author of over 130 journal articles and over 20 books, including one of the first introductory general textbooks on Australian industrial relations.

In 1993 David left his his position as Professor of Industrial Relations and Organisational Behaviour at the University of New South Wales to return to Western Australia and take up a new role as Foundation Director of the Graduate School of Management at UWA. He held this position through to 2000.

During his career at UWA David was also Chair of Academic Board and chair of numerous other committees. He had an extensive ‘service’ role at this university including, more recently, his contribution to New Courses. He was also an outstanding supervisor and during his time at UWA supervised and co-supervised 14 doctoral students to successful completion.

More recently, in November 2013, Dr Michael Chaney AO awarded David the UWA ‘Chancellor’s Medal’ at a small private ceremony. The Chancellor Medal is awarded for an outstanding contribution, or sustained contributions, to the University.

David was clearly deserving of such an award. David will be remembered by many for years to come for his dedication, commitment, quick wit, energy and zeal. His passing is a sad loss for someone who still had so much to give. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with his wonderful wife Cathy and their family.

international arts festival in Australia and Western Australia’s premier cultural event. The Festival has developed a worldwide reputation for excellence in its international program, the presentation of new works and the highest quality artistic experiences for its audience.

Festival Director Jonathon Holloway has been remarkable in leading the artistic formulation and delivery of the 2014 program and the University is proud to be associated with his success.

State Cabinet held meeting at UWAHistory was made on 4 November 2013 when Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett chaired the first meeting of State Cabinet at a West Australian university. Cabinet met in UWA’s heritage-listed Senate Room adjoining Winthrop Hall. As part of the visit, Ministers and the Premier engaged with staff and students from across the University at a range of specially designed events to showcase what UWA is doing, why it is doing it and what benefits are derived for the community.

Local Government amalgamationsThe University welcomes Cabinet’s decision to push ahead with local government reform, which includes the extension of the City of Perth’s boundary west to include all of UWA’s Crawley campus and a residential area between the University and QEII Hospital.

UWA currently straddles three local government administrative areas – Perth, Nedlands and Subiaco – with one boundary dissecting the campus at Winthrop Hall and another isolating the main Crawley campus from the University’s Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Visual Arts.

The University is a very large organisation with a $1 billion annual turnover and 3,500 staff split between three local government authorities. This split adds unnecessary time delays and unnecessary expense to get the simplest things done around parking, waste management, public transport and planning.

A move to bring the entire campus into the City of Perth will be enormously beneficial in UWA’s role as a key international focus point in Western Australia to take education and science to the rest of the world.

Shenton Park FireThere was a bushfire on January 11 in the vicinity of UWA Research Park on Underwood Avenue in Jolimont. The fire was contained with the help of water bombing aircraft. One staff member on site at the time was safely evacuated. There were no injuries and no damage to buildings. The University is grateful for the efforts of fire crews who contained the blaze and I would like to especially thank University staff who helped manage the situation.

experience, the Guild is very well placed to give the university a students voice about where improvements need to be made.

Service learningOur service learning agenda has been moving from strength to strength. A recent Joint venture agreement between the University, the student Guild and Volunteering WA has given us the capacity to expand our volunteering efforts, provide more support to the university but also the student based volunteering initiatives and work more closely with external volunteering partners. This is a highly innovative solution which uses shared resources to provide a cost-effective and integrated approach to furthering the University’s community focus.

This initiative has meant there is a greater opportunity for faculty societies to develop ‘skilled volunteering programs’ to allow students to use their degree skills to help the community and enhance their learning. This approach has supported new volunteering programs being run by the Science Union, the Music Students’ Society, the Arts Union and the Podiatric Medical Students’ Society.

Food and drink on campusFood and drink provision has always been a big part of the services offered to students at UWA and has always generated large amounts of discussion amongst students about how it can be improved. The decision to move to a mixed model has been very well received and has allowed the Guild to tailor the vendors on campus to the tastes of students and introduce a large variety of products that would otherwise be too difficult.

The renovations of the Guild Tavern have been completed with a complete overhaul of the bar required to undergo an upgrade to meet compliance regulations while also making the bar area more modern. The Tavern will also be trialing very specific cocktail jugs like ‘Pimms’ during the week to give students another alternative to beer or cider.

The Functions department have been given more freedom to seek out functions business and to grow that area within its current capacity to gather so additional revenue that has been lost of the previous years due to a shakeup of the Guild Catering department.

Engaging with under-represented studentsAs the university targets International students more heavily, the Guild along with the International student council are looking at opportunities about how to integrate international

IntroductionThe UWA Student Guild, not unlike the University, is undergoing significant change as we maneuver the obstacles of new courses and accommodate the move to a greater post graduate coursework student population. With regulation changes, election reform, a number of staff movements, and ongoing capital developments the Guild is still finding its feet in this new university environment.

2014 will continue to be a year of growth but hopefully all of the fantastic work in 2013 shall bring some stability to the organisation and we will see some fantastic new student initiative emerge this year.

Education advocacyEducational advocacy and student input into university policy on teaching pedagogy is one of the strengths of the Guild and this year looks to be a fantastic opportunity for students to have a lasting impact on the development of teaching here at UWA. We have been working closely with Alec Cameron and the Teaching & Learning Committee on the Education Futures project.

We have also developed new structures for better data collection and feedback, including a Student Learning Experiences and Teaching Survey for better information flow between our Student Assist Officers and Student Representatives.

The Guild is also looking forward to working closely with the newly created Office of Operational Excellence. With the University looking to improve its ratings in satisfaction surveys especially those relating to end to end student

students better with domestic students. We are looking to create informal English conversational classes by providing a BBQ and soft drinks, with students from the volunteering hub and international students to improve English competency and social integration.

Key challenges for 2014The UWA Student Guild faces some comprehensive issues in 2014, the first and foremost of those is the possibility that the Student Services and Amenities Fee legislation will be revoke by the current government. Unfortunately this will cause the Guild to reassess the services that can be provided with the likelihood that some may be scaled back.

On top of the possibility of repealing the SSAF, a lower number of students due to the half cohort entering the Tertiary education system will also mean that there will be a lower amount of SSAF revenue in 2015 and as such we will need to plan ahead for this contingency.

Long term strategiesThe UWA student Guild has recently engaged in some substantial capital works to provide a consolidated workspace for Guild staff and student representatives and a collaborative area for student clubs. This project will be completed towards the end of April and will complement the newly completed Guild Student Centre on the ground floor. Further plans are being developed to continue the capital works in Cameron Hall and the Guild precinct.

In line with the possibility of losing SSAF and the lower SSAF income in 2015 we are trying to find external partnerships that can be used to reduce costs or as an alternative revenue source and looking to boost the alternative revenue streams that are already in place.

Finally and of much interest to Convocation, the Guild is looking to create an Alumni Association for those who have been involved in the Guild and associated groups like Pelican or Prosh. While we are only in the planning stages, we have plan to use the association to fundraise, sources of experience and information and as mentors for student representatives.

Tom HendersonGuild President


On 29 July 2014, we look forward to celebrating the centenary of his graduation as the first of the 100,000 graduates that have now followed in his footsteps.

Convocation Council’s strategic planIn the UWA Act and Statutes Convocation has been assigned five key roles. These can be summarised as follows: Representative Role ÌÌ To represent the interests and opinions of members

through effective communication and to present such views to the University and the community of Western Australia;

Governance RoleÌÌ To encourage members of Convocation to participate in

the governance of the University through the election of Convocation members to the Senate and the review of amendments to University statutes;

Contribution RoleÌÌ To encourage members to support and contribute to

the intellectual and cultural prosperity of the University community;

Membership Interaction RoleÌÌ To promote professional and social links between

members of Convocation by creating and supporting opportunities for graduate interaction; and

Promotion of Excellence RoleÌÌ To promote the ideals and purpose of the University

and Convocation to graduates and undergraduates, other members of the University and the community of Western Australia.

Over the past 100 years, Convocation has ascribed differing priorities to these roles. While the representative role has remained fairly constant, initially during the last century the focus was on governance issues which then gave way to the needs of graduates and now through the use of social media, there is the potential for greater interaction between graduates and the University to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.

Part of the challenge in developing a strategic plan for Convocation is to achieve the right balance between these roles and to align prioritisation of these roles with the needs of the University at different periods of its development.

Over the past year, a Council Working Group has been hard at work developing a Strategic Plan to ensure that

Centenary celebrationsLast year on 4th March 2013, we celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the formation of Convocation. This year, we will also be celebrating a centenary event of great significance to Convocation, the 100th Anniversary of the first graduate from UWA.

On 29th July 1914, in a graduation ceremony conducted in the ballroom of Government House, Edward Sydney Simpson was the first person to receive a degree from the University of Western Australia, when he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in geology with First Class Honours.

For a mineral-rich State, he is the “first graduate from central casting” given that during his career he was the Chief Chemist to the WA Mines Department and later Government Mineralogist & Analyst, as well as writing over 100 scientific papers and books including the publication “A Key to Mineral Groups Species & Varieties” and the reference tome “Minerals of Western Australia”. In addition, he took on an extensive number of voluntary leadership roles, including his appointment as a member of the UWA Senate.

Based on the excellent research undertaken by Jenny Bevan from UWA’s School of Earth and Environment, we now know all about his remarkable contribution to Western Australia in the fields of geology and mineralogy.

D

the role and activities of Convocation dovetails with that of the University overall and specifically with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations.

Late last year, the timing of this task was modified to align with the University’s program for a major review of its Strategic Plan which will is due to be finalised in the next few months. We look forward to distributing our new Strategic Plan at that time.

ElectionsAs indicated above, one of the responsibilities of Convocation Council is to conduct periodical elections for four members of the Senate and for the members of Convocation Council.

During 2013, the current Convocation Council took a decision to outsource the conduct of future elections to the WA Electoral Commission. We did this for a number of reasons:ÌÌ To utilise the specialist expertise of the WA Electoral

Commission in organising electionsÌÌ To reduce costs as the WA Electoral Commission was

able to conduct the election more cost-effectivelyÌÌ To free-up resources in the Office of Convocation

who would otherwise be engaged in conducting the elections.

ÌÌ To encourage greater participation in the electoral process, as anecdotal evidence suggested that many members of Convocation often did not realise that they had received voting papers when these were enclosed in the first edition of Uniview each year.

I am pleased to report that under these new arrangements, the postal ballot conducted during February and March this year has successfully addressed each of these issues.

In the 2014 elections just concluded we achieved a participation rate of 5.68% with over 4,260 votes being cast – an increase of 342.5% over the previous years elections. This compares favourably the University of Sydney which held elections for five vacant positions on their Senate during 2013 and achieved a response rate of 6.30%.

Later this year, Convocation Council will therefore consider a recommendation to continue these outsourcing arrangements.

Electronic voting Another initiative which Convocation Council is keen to pursue is the introduction of electronic voting for Convocation and Senate elections. We believe that this initiative would result in greater online interaction with the members of Convocation, an increased participation rate, a more timely response (especially for overseas members), whilst reducing the overall cost per vote.

Initial investigatory work has outlined the scope of changes that will need to be made to the UWA Statutes to enable electronic voting to occur and the Convocation Statutes Committee is currently liaising with the University’s General Counsel regarding the specific amendments required. I wish to commend the Convenor of the Statutes Committee, Deputy Warden Paul McCann AM for his leadership of this initiative.

Clearly, if we are going to implement electronic voting, we will need email addresses for a far greater percentage of the graduate population. At present, Convocation only has email addresses for approximately 35,000 graduates of the 100,000 we know exist, so another initiative has been to entice graduates to update their contact details including their email addresses.

Just prior to Christmas, I sent a letter to all graduates requesting them to send through their updated details with the enticement of winning an iPad Air if they responded prior to 31 December 2013. The winner of the iPad Air will be announced at the Ordinary Meeting.

Scholarships, prizes and awardsOne key way in which Convocation addresses its “Promotion of Excellence” role is through the allocation of prizes and awards to promote academic excellence. Each year Convocation provides fifty prizes and awards and we are keen to increase both the number and the financial quantum of these awards.

Over the past twelve months a considerable amount of work has been undertaken by the Awards Committee to realign these prizes and awards with the new UWA course structure

Due to the excellent work undertaken by Clinical Professor Lesley Cala in her role as Convenor of the Awards Committee, we have also made substantial progress in increasing the number of prizes and awards, and in receiving increased funding for some of these awards. For example with the generosity of Professor Bryant Stokes AM RFD KSJ, for the next five years, the Matilda Award for Cultural Excellence will be funded at the increased amount of $5,000 per year.


Academic dress servicesOne income producing activity that was seriously investigated during the past six months was the hire of academic dress regalia to UWA graduands.

During November 2013, Convocation received advice that the University intended to tender these services and Convocation therefore approached Graduate Women WA who already provided an academic dress hire service to ascertain whether they would be interested in creating a joint venture company to compete for this tender.

Because Graduate Women WA had only ever supplied approximately half of the gowns required for each graduation, they welcomed the additional resources that Convocation could provide and a joint submission was lodged for this tender.

Unfortunately, our joint tender bid was not successful for appointment as the preferred supplier of academic dress services to UWA graduation ceremonies. Phillips & Father have been appointed as the preferred supplier of these services.

However Convocation Council is currently investigating the viability of providing an alternative academic dress service, once full details of the new arrangements are known.

UNISON eventsUNISON (University Societies and Organisations Network) is a voluntary cooperative network of UWA based societies and organisations which have a mutual interest in the welfare of the University community. The societies and organisations which make up UNISON provide a wide range of intellectual, professional, cultural and charitable opportunities for involvement in the University.

Each year Convocation hosts four get-togethers for UNISON so that the representatives of these societies and organisations can meet and exchange information to the mutual benefit of both the organisations and the University.

Since the last Ordinary Meeting, Convocation Council has hosted two UNISON events. Both have been well attended and provided the opportunity to meet and discuss issues of common interest. Further information on UNISON is available from the Convocation website at www. convocation.uwa.edu.au/events/unison

50th Reunion luncheonSince the last Ordinary Meeting, Convocation has arranged another very successful 50th Reunion luncheon for all the graduates of UWA who graduated during 1963. Planning is now underway for this year’s 50th Reunion for the graduates of 1964 which will be held on 31 May at the University Club.

For each of these events, a souvenir booklet is produced containing the biographies for each of the graduates of the reunion year. Given the considerable time and effort that is required to prepare for these reunions of the entire university, I wish to thank Pauline Tremlett, Joan Pope and the Outreach Committee chaired by Tracy Taylor for all their good work on these events.

Communications CommitteeSince the last Ordinary Meeting, Convocation Council has approved the creation of a new Communications Committee to ensure the timely distribution of information to members of Convocation and to coordinate how each item should be best be conveyed – either through email news bulletins, by post, in Uniview, on the Convocation website or via LinkedIn or Twitter.

Given the increased engagement that is being achieved through this improved coordination of communication, I wish to commend Arthur Hiemstra and his Committee for their enthusiasm and dedication to this task.

Convocation financesTo ensure that Convocation is able to undertake an increased range of activities and to fund the new initiatives being considered in our Strategic Plan, Convocation Council must have clear understanding of our finances and how best these funds can be used.

Thanks to the outstanding work undertaken by Dr Fran Pesich as Convocation’s Treasurer and her Finance Committee, we are now far better informed regarding these finances and how we can use them to best effect to achieve Convocation’s aims and objectives.

We also wish to increase the funding available to Convocation to fund further scholarships, prizes and awards by creating sustainable business income streams through investigating commercial opportunities. During the past six months two opportunities have been investigated. Every idea and suggestion from any member of Convocation will also be investigated to ensure the future financial viability of Convocation.


membership, if they leave to take up an appointment at another university?

Dr Susan King and the Membership Committee have taken on the challenge of addressing these issues and a multitude of others and it is expected that these improved arrangements will be considered by the Council of Convocation later this year.

UWA Sports & Recreation Association In seeking to achieve greater engagement with our alumni, Convocation Council has for many years recognised the important role that UWA sporting clubs play in encouraging graduates to have an on-going connection with the University.

As part of our “Promotion of Excellence” role, Convocation already funds the Sports Star of the Year Award and two Sports Scholarships

Over the last six months representatives of Convocation Council have met with representatives of the UWA Sports & Recreation Association in order to enhance the working relationship between both bodies. An invitation has been extended for the UWA Sports & Recreation Association to attend Convocation Council meetings in order to improve communication and to foster joint initiatives for the benefit of the graduate comunity.

Uniview As part of our efforts to improve the flow of communication to UWA graduates, Convocation is now participating in regular editorial meetings for Uniview to consider the themes and content for future issues. Due to budget restrictions, a decision has been taken to only publish two issues of Uniview during 2014. The first issue will be distributed to graduates during April.

Collaboration with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations Over the past six months, substantial progress has been made in improving collaboration with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations through regular meetings with the Associate Director Alumni and Community Relations Ms Brenda Tournier.

As a result of these discussions, work is now progressing on a number of potential initiatives and we are all looking forward to improving our engagement with UWA’s graduate community.

Honours CommitteeOne way in which Convocation can undertake its Promotion of Excellence role is to ensure that those worthy of meritorious recognition within the University community are considered for such awards as the Order of Australia.

As we are all aware, while many of our colleagues may be worthy of an Australian Honour, it is only when someone takes the time and effort to compile a submission on their behalf that they can be considered. Because of the exacting nature of the Honours application process, preparation of the required submission can be an arduous task.

In order to address this issue, the Council of Convocation has established an Honours Committee to take on this responsibility of nominating and preparing the submissions required for those worthy of recognition to be considered by the Australian Honours Secretariat in Canberra.

However the success of this initiative depends on members of the University community taking the first step by nominating those who you believe should be considered for an Order of Australia. To ensure confidentiality, please provide me with your suggestions by emailing them to me at [email protected]

All suggestions will be treated confidentially throughout the nomination process and it is helpful if a nomination includes the names of those who may be able to provide the background information required to complete the submission.

Membership CommitteeAnother initiative of the current Council has been to establish a Membership Committee to fully consider the implications of each membership category.

The UWA Act and Statutes indicate that the following groups are eligible to be members of Convocation:ÌÌ All graduates of the University;ÌÌ All senior academic staff of the University;ÌÌ All members and past members of the UWA SenateÌÌ Representatives of commercial, industrial, scientific,

professional or educational associations;ÌÌ Such graduates, fellows, members, licentiates and

associates of universities, colleges or institutions duly authorised to grant degrees, diplomas, licences or certificates as are admitted to be members of Convocation under a Statute;

ÌÌ Persons who have rendered services or made gifts to the University.

However, the detail arrangements have not always been clear. For example do staff-members invited to become members of Convocation retain the benefit of
