The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

Students as Partners creates space for students and staff (academic or professional) to work together on teaching, learning, curriculum, and governance. As a way of thinking, Students as Partners shifts the educational paradigm of learning and teaching as something staff do to students to education as a shared endeavour done with students. Increasingly adopted around the globe, Students as Partners has led to the transformation of practices and an array of positive outcomes for both students and staff.

The annual National Students as Partners Roundtable brings together students, academics, and professional staff from across Australia and New Zealand to explore this innovative educational model along with international experts. Overseas colleagues are welcome to attend.

  • Share Students as Partners practices, ideas, and experiences
  • Discover new ways of considering Students as Partners in higher education
  • Network with a diversity of Students as Partners practitioners
  • Harness the creativity of staff and students to address teaching and learning challenges.
