We are thrilled to announce that Mannix College has achieved Gold Accreditation under the newly introduced Residential Experience Standard (RES), becoming Australia’s first residential college to earn this prestigious recognition! This milestone confirms Mannix as a leader in student accommodation, underscoring our dedication to providing an exceptional, supportive, and inclusive community. Principal Andrew Swan shared, “This accreditation is a testament to our commitment to a safe, vibrant environment, making Mannix a premier choice for students seeking a secure and enriching residential experience at Monash University.” Highlights of the RES Accreditation: > Benchmarking Excellence: RES allows us to measure our performance against top student accommodation providers domestically and globally, setting a higher standard in Australia. > Independent Validation: Through this rigorous external assessment, Mannix College showcases a high-quality living experience, providing prospective students and stakeholders with the assurance of impartial validation. > Community Feedback: 70% of our residents provided detailed feedback, giving us valuable insights further to enhance safety, inclusivity, and student satisfaction. The Residential Experience Standard is a pioneering initiative by APSAA - Asia-Pacific Student Accommodation Association and UK-based Investors in Students (IIS), aimed at raising the bar for student accommodation through rigorous, evidence-based assessment. We're proud to be an early adopter of this new program. A heartfelt thank you to our staff, student leaders, supporters, and residents – your passion and support made this achievement possible. We look forward to building on this success in 2025 as we continue to raise the bar. with @monash_uni , @melbournecatholic , @mannix.moca, @apsaa_apsaa, #MannixPride #GoldAccreditation #ExcellenceInAction

📢✨ Is it divine intervention or just a high score? Rumour has it that our Chaplain, Fr William, has found a new spiritual practice… playing pinball! This week, as part of our pre-exams wellbeing initiatives, we’ve brought in pinball and arcade games for everyone at the college to enjoy. It’s a great opportunity to take a break, have some fun, and recharge before exams kick off.
