PRE-EXAM SESSIONS
With another round of exams fast approaching, it's so important to check-in with ourselves and each other, especially while we are physically distant.

This event aims to reassure, inform and advise. We will begin with answers to questions which can be submitted anonymously

This is a great opportunity to ask whatever you like and hear from fellow students about (inter alia ?) preparing for exams, managing stress and seeking support. Bring your beverage of choice, get into something comfy (if you're not already) and join us for an informal chat on Zoom.

Note: this is not a presentation-style event! We need you to help us deliver the event you're looking for by submitting your questions in advance. Questions are completely anonymous!

Raising the age of criminal responsibility - A panel discussion
We invite you to an online event on Thursday, 22 October at 4:00pm - 5:00pm

In all Australian jurisdictions, the age of criminal responsibility is 10 years. It is one of the lowest ages of criminal responsibility in the world.  Last year there were 600 children aged 10-13 in detention in Australia, with 60% being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children.

By maintaining such a low age of criminal responsibility, Australia is failing to meet international human rights standards, is ignoring the scientific evidence on child and adolescent brain development, and is exposing thousands of Australian children to the harmful effects of the criminal justice system each year.  Raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 would mean that approximately 8,000 Australian young people a year would be spared from harmful and criminogenic experiences that often have life-long consequences. 

Please join us for a panel discussion on what is an important issue now and for future generations.  

Panel members:
  • Liana Buchanan, Principal Commissioner, Commission for Children and Young People
  • Anoushka Jeronimus, Youth Director, West Justice
  • Nerita Waight, CEO, Victoria Aboriginal Legal Service
MC:
  • Rob Hulls, Director, Centre for Innovative Justice.
You can read our earlier submission to the Council of Attorneys-General here.

Please follow the link below to register via Eventbrite.
Everyone faces setbacks. Disappointing grades or being turned down for a job may sound familiar.

Join The College of Law for a webinar to learn the steps you can take to build your resilience so you can come back fighting after any challenging situation.

Key takeaways:
? How to reframe your mindset and reduce negative thoughts;
? How to position yourself for opportunities
? Thinking about your point of difference and
? Taking small steps to move you closer to your goals
