We recognise our students are experts in student experience and have significant views and opinions that can positively influence business strategies.
We believe in making informed decisions, especially when the outcomes impact our students.
We recognise involving students in decision making has a significant effect on the quality enhancements of our business.
There is an opportunity to differentiate Holmesglen by engaging in and contributing to international best practice regarding student voice and partnership.
We have a responsibility to listen and respond to the concerns and needs of our students.
By partnering with students, we have an opportunity to strengthen the Holmesglen brand.
The student experience is a shared responsibility and therefore, strategies impacting student experience should be managed together.
Since its pilot in 2019, Holmesglen has been a proud member of Student Voice Australia. We recognise student partnership may look differently in TAFE, so we work with Student Voice Australia to further identify and embed a culture of student partnership in governance nationally.
Student Voice Australia has been a fantastic network and our contribution to the Good Practice Guidelines of Student Voice Australia has been a great way to share our experience with others joining in their early stages of student partnership.
Our students are important members of our governance framework and we’re committed to including them in our decision-making practices. The Student Association ensures the voice of the student body is heard and contributes meaningfully to the things that matter most to our students, including:
Academic matters, such as course design and delivery
Service and facilities
Recreation and social engagement programs and much more.

As a Student Representative at Holmesglen Institute, I am passionate about and intend to be a voice and advocate for my fellow students, and to be the bridge between students and the staff/faculty.
My aim is to improve communication, foster inclusiveness, and create a supportive environment for the student body.
In my free time, I love to go on walks, try different types of food, binge-watch my favourite shows, and read books.
As a student representative, I advocate for students while they navigate the intensity of studying in their field of choice. My goal is to help students feel heard, understood, and connected to the right people to make a difference. I'm passionate about making communication clearer and more inclusive, and I strive to create a space where students feel safe asking questions, sharing concerns, and being themselves. I strongly believe in listening with intention, speaking with purpose, and treating others the way I want to be treated. Outside of study, I enjoy dj'ing, barbering, and videography - creative outlets that keep me grounded and inspired.
I’m a passionate nursing student and student leader committed to creating a supportive, inclusive and empowering university community. As Chairperson of the Student Representative Council, I work to ensure that students’ voices are heard and that their experiences, concerns and ideas are represented within the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE.
With a strong interest in leadership, advocacy and community engagement, I’m passionate about creating opportunities for students to connect, contribute and feel a genuine sense of belonging. I value collaboration and believe that meaningful student representation is built through listening, communication and action.
Alongside my studies, I’m passionate about nursing, personal development, media and content creation, and making a positive impact within my community. Through my role on the Student Representative Council, I hope to encourage students to use their voices, embrace leadership opportunities and make the most of their university experience.
I’m proud to represent my fellow students and look forward to working collaboratively with students and staff to help build a university community where every student feels heard, supported and empowered.
As a Student Representative, I bring a broad range of life and work experience, a practical mindset, and a genuine interest in connecting with people from different backgrounds. I am particularly interested in improving communication between students and staff, helping students feel confident sharing their ideas and concerns, and making Holmesglen’s support and opportunities easier to understand and access.
Through the SRC, I hope to contribute to practical student initiatives and help build a more connected, inclusive, and engaged campus community.
Outside of study, I enjoy exploring Melbourne, attending campus and community events, and learning how different organisations engage with and support their communities.
I’m passionate about making sure students feel heard, supported and connected throughout their studies.
I hope to use my experience in nursing to advocate for students and help make the Holmesglen experience a little easier and more enjoyable. When I’m not studying or working, you’ll probably find me on a nature trip, cooking, creating videos, or asleep!
I am strongly committed to social justice, human rights advocacy, and community empowerment through strength-based approaches - as a student representative. This means ensuring that all students at Holmesglen are heard and supported in the ways that they need.
I seek to utilise my passion and skills to transfer into a fulfilling career within the Community Services sector, supporting young persons with diverse and complex needs. My spare time is filled with reading, collaging and arts, and watching stand-up comedy shows.
As a student representative, my focus is on fostering a collaborative environment and ensuring student feedback is acted upon. I am passionate about enhancing student life and creating an inclusive campus community. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, hiking.
I actively contribute to organising student events, representing student concerns, and collaborating with staff to improve campus facilities.
Outside of my role with the SRC, I’m passionate about sports and have gained valuable experience in IT.
I’m always eager to connect with my peers and work on projects that help improve student life on campus.
