In essence, our supportive environment, comprehensive resources, and focus on personal growth can positively impact your happiness, health, and success throughout your university journey and beyond.

Christmas spirit activated 🎄✨

Like elves in Santa’s workshop, some of our Mannix staff spent the afternoon with our friends at VMCH helping pack Christmas Hampers for people and families doing it tough this year 🤝

Together with a big volunteer crew, around 900 hampers were packed and prepared for delivery 🎁

A small act for each of us, a big impact for the community. Proud to be part of something that spreads a bit of light at this time of year ❤️

We know that what’s in a can isn’t the most important thing. It’s what you do with it. ♻️

Across campus, our residents use specialised bins to give every empty can a second life. 🗑️✨

Thanks to Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme, each container we collect earns 10 cents which becomes something far bigger than waste reduction.

We turn cans into access scholarships that help students get to university and thrive once they’re here. 🎓💛

Since July 2024, our community has returned 37,100 containers and raised $3,710 for scholarships. 🙌

That’s everyday student life transformed into sustainability and opportunity, one can at a time.

And because we’re nerds about this stuff, we did the maths. If you stacked every one of those cans on top of the next, our “Mannix Mountain” would climb over 4.5 kilometres into the sky. That’s half of Mt Everest, built from good habits, shared effort and the beverages that fuel a university year. 🏔️🥤

Behind this impact is our whole community. Our Maintenance Team built a presorting station from recycled odds and ends found around campus. Our residents sort containers at events like Castle Day, making sustainability simple, social and fun. And every week, our recycling champion Adam visits Ferdinand and Vinn at the Return-It Depot in Springvale, where world-class service turns our haul into scholarship dollars. 💰♻️

We’re proud fans of CDS Vic because it transforms small, good choices into big change. It keeps waste out of landfill. It builds a more sustainable campus. And it helps open doors for students who deserve a fair chance at education in our community. 

So here’s cheers to a cleaner campus, brighter futures and the power of turning small actions into big impact, one can at a time. 🥤➡️🎓✨

Big news, Mannix — your 2026 student leaders have been officially announced, and what a powerhouse team they are.

Next year’s Resident Advisors, MCSS Committee and Welcome Team will be the heartbeat of campus life, building community, supporting their peers and creating the moments and memories that make Mannix feel like home.

And they’re not just stepping in cold. Every leader completes three weeks of pre-service training, with one week wrapped up in November and two more coming in February. These intensives prepare them to lead a safe, vibrant and inclusive College, while boosting their confidence, skills and employability. Leadership at Mannix isn’t a title; it’s growth in action.

From the care and steadiness of our RAs, to the colour and creativity of the MCSS, to the first-day magic brought by the Welcome Team, this crew will bring serious energy to 2026.

Massive congratulations to every student joining this epic team! We can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make next year.

🌹 Mannix residents visited our friends at VMCH Corpus Christi this week to honour Remembrance Day together. We paused to reflect as Hannah read The Ode of Remembrance with real grace, then shifted into festive mode with Christmas crafts led by our talented resident Denise. 🎄✨

Discovering meaning, together.

This semester, our College Chaplain Fr Tony has been leading The Search — an optional weekly program inviting residents of all faiths and none to explore life’s big questions in a relaxed, open setting.

From deep conversations to shared laughter, these gatherings have sparked curiosity, connection, and reflection — reminding us that the journey of purpose, and community is one we take together.

Here are a few highlights from The Search this semester.

Huge thanks to our amazing alumni mentors for sharing their time, wisdom and networks — giving Mannix residents a genuine career edge in a world where standing out matters more than ever.

Brushstrokes & Belonging 💛💚💙

We recently celebrated creativity in full colour with the Mannix College Art Showcase!

Led by MCSS Committee Member Madeleine Steer, the exhibition transformed our Chapel foyer into a gallery of imagination — featuring paintings, sketches, and mixed-media works by our incredibly talented residents.

A special shout-out to Gabriella Calandro, Mannix Old Coll and artist at the Shepparton Art Museum, who helped open the event and generously donated one of her works to the Mannix College Art Collection. 🙌

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to support our artists and to Belle Tamblyn and Laura Thompson from the Student Media Team for capturing the day beautifully.

✨ Creativity. Community. College life at its best.

Once upon a time met one small step for mankind — as Mannix residents Harry and Bella shared their passions with the VMCH Corpus Christi community, exploring fairytales and space exploration.

The Young Hearts Program brings together 315 Mannix students and 120 aged care residents — all of us away from family, yet eager for friendship, conversation, and connection across generations.

This latest workshop sparked rich discussions about curiosity, courage, and wonder — proving that learning and laughter truly have no age limit. 💫

👏 Team Mannix was proud to support the inaugural Monash Chancellor’s Walk for Change — a campus-wide celebration of community, connection, and generosity.

Held at our wonderful Monash Sport ovals, every step helped raise funds for Achieving Potential Scholarships, breaking down barriers so more students can access a world-class education.

A big well done to our friends at Monash University for bringing the whole community together for such a great cause. 💛

Addams Family: The Musical 🕷️🕸️
Life @ Mannix Series 💛💚💙

Over four incredible shows, our talented cast and crew — led by MCSS Culture Rep and Director Alex Aidt — brought the Addams Family to life in all its weird and wonderful glory ⚡️

The entire production was student-run, from direction to props, set design, costumes, hair and makeup — a full showcase of creativity, collaboration and commitment. 🙌

We loved watching the friendships, laughter and late-night rehearsals that turned into something truly special on stage. 

Congratulations to the mighty MCSS and everyone involved — we can’t wait to see what next year’s musical brings! 🎵🎤
