We are thrilled to announce that Mannix College has achieved Gold Accreditation under the newly introduced Residential Experience Standard (RES), becoming Australiaโ€™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, โ€œThis 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.โ€ 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 โ€“ 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
