 I would like to invite two UniSQ students to close and reflect on today. So Lalita and Tyler, I'll just ask you, I mean, Lalita does start this for us. So I'll just invite you to the stage. And we might use the lectern for this just for the tech. And yeah, thank you. Thank you. I'm nervous. Okay, so we would like to thank everybody. We don't have, do we have executives still here? But I think this session is for you. Okay, so we have the voice. We would like it for you. Okay, so I'm Lalita. I'm a PhD student from University of Southern Queensland. And I think I'm not really into talking, but I'm just trying to be brave. So yeah, so Dr. Lucy set us as inspirational tone and engagement for today. And there are just five notes that I really looked into, into her key notes. Okay, so I have here some notes. So I highlighted inclusivity. Because it gives us the question whether these students really are heard. What does really inclusivity means? We are trying to look into, are they really actively participating? Or we're just hearing them. So this implies that despite the ideals of inclusivity, there may be other institutional barriers. So what are these? What do we have to look into? Is it about the lack of representation? Why? So is this about an equal of power dynamics? How do we minimize this? So, or do we really create is we have failed to create the environment that is actually safe for them. So this is the reason why we are silenced. So another thing is diversity and intersectionality. This is the recognition that we are from various backgrounds, experiences and identities. Again, these silence people. We may be, we may have all the theories. We are hearing all best practices they said. They are on the papers. They are being presented, but are they really what it is? So the next thing is we have the trauma informed approach. We have, this is really very important. As we know that everybody, our students, we as students comes from different, we may have experienced different trauma. And this has profoundly impacted on how in our well-being and how we participate in decision making of the university. So this trauma, we may not be able to come out. So how do our administrators or managers go about this? So another is participation in decision making. We students, and I myself is guilty of, we are part of the voice. We are part of the steering committee of our project of an organization of our institution. But are we there as a, as our presence is acknowledged? But do we have a part in the decision making or we are just part of the attendance? Okay, so, so what are quiet students are quiet, a silenced voice? Okay, so this implies that students voices are not heard and this raises concern about why this might be happening. Truly, we may be, we know all these theories, we know all this is happening. We have all these stories given, but the question is, are we really enlightened of what's happening to the students? So me as an international student, I want to share the, they would say racism, but it's, I think we cannot do about it. But Australia being an international student economy, I've heard it's third GDP, but yes, have we heard them? Have we heard the international students? We have lots of voices out there. They may not be heard because they don't want to be heard. They are silenced because they can't do anything. They are, they want to voice, but where is equity? We were talking about the balance of studies, the balance of life and the balance of volunteerism. Where will we go? Is diversity, is inclusivity, inclusivity mean we are also looking into the economic aspects of our students? So I think this is something that we have to work on. We are students, we only have limit, limit timeline in our, in our degrees. So after we have been proactive, who will come next? And who will take our post? We could just hope, we only can hope that there are other people who are also passionate as us, who goes to sessions with, with open heart. And despite it's not just do, we'll do, but yes, we have to consider everything. And I think this is the reflection that I've seen, but I hope this will be heard and we move forward. Thank you, Lolita, for sharing your reflection. My name is Taylor and I am the co-chair of the inaugural Student Senate here at UNISQ. I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this symposium today and it's been really inspiring. Networking with all of you and hearing the different things that you're implementing at your own universities. Before I wrap up each session, I first just want to share a key self-reflection that I've had from the day when considering the idea of a quiet voice. For me today was an opportunity to reflect on my own privilege and my own student voice. I am in a very privileged position where I'm easily able to have my student voice heard. I have a fantastic team here at UNISQ that are always happy to listen when I have something to say. But I recognise that for a lot of students that isn't the case and perhaps they don't always have the confidence or the network to be able to raise their student voice. So beyond this symposium, I am to continue to self-reflect on this point when capturing and communicating the student voice and utilise that in my role as a co-chair. Now to wrap up the day. So the student fishbowl discussion was an amazing opportunity to hear from six incredible student representatives across a wide range of experiences on identifying barriers that student voices may experience, discussing experiences of students in higher education committees, governing bodies and guilds. The session also saw students sharing strategies, resources and advice for ensuring quiet student voices are represented. I personally took a lot from listening to what the other universities were implementing and I hope to be able to share some of that back with my student senate here at UNISQ as well. Thanks to Lisa Connolly for the disability and inclusion representative from UNISQ's Student Senate for moderating this session. You did a fantastic job. I attended the case studies, amplification of the student voice from student staff, co-design and implementation of a strategy focus student advisory council. People at heart of process and student as partners, co-creation of curricular model, enhancing the learning experience through assessment rubric design with students for students. Bit of a mouthful but very engaging sessions. It was really insightful to hear the various student partnerships across a variety of institutions and the role student senate approaches have improved curricular and co-curricular outcomes. Thanks to all the speakers for sharing your knowledge there. It's so great to be surrounded by people so passionate about enhancing the student voice and I'm really excited to see what happens in this space with all of you involved. The panel sessions included both students and practitioners with significant experience in student governments space to discuss their own journey in student governments. Talking about these experiences, it also led to discussions on the different levels of advocacy as well as sharing strategies in ensuring the quiet voices are consulted with and represented in higher educations in a collaborative way. And thank you to Andrew Johnson at SVA, operational group, Covina from the University of Southern Queensland for moderating this session. Thank you very much for all your attention today. I'm now going to pass back over to Anna again. Thank you for all your hard work to finalize this symposium so that we can all finally head off to the brewery and enjoy Friday. I'm probably, I won't be taking too much of your time, but I would like to still go through a couple of very important notes. And one of them is how many of you were excited to be here on Friday 13th? Because I was probably not as excited as Ali. So thank you Lolita and Taylor for your reflection. And I think it's a really good wrap for us. So, let me just go through a couple of important notes to make sure I've got everything. Okay. So firstly, I would like to invite everyone to consider joining our network for the next year. We do a quick call out to our members as well as our other institutions that join our sessions. For example, symposium, we've got a couple of people from different institutions that are not members. We invite you to consider and, you know, invite your leadership to also spare some budget to join us for next year. This is how this network grows and this is how we do some meaningful work together. And as a network, we have been growing every year. This year we've had 28 institutions across Australia and New Zealand and across the sector of TAFES and higher education universities. So please consider joining us for next year as well and continuing your work and your participation and engagement with SVA next year as well. You will be in the email as attendees, all of you will receive a prospectus for membership next year where you can familiarize yourself with the goals for next year. We have made a couple of new additions. So please just have a look at the document, ask me any questions, and we will make sure we've get everyone on board next year. And as SVA being hosted by UNSQ, we obviously have set some ambitious goals for ourselves as well to engage as many practitioners and students as possible as well. So I'm going to be emailing all of you and continuing sort of that collaboration with all of you. What to expect next from this symposium because we really like to make sure there are resources for you to refer to all of the sessions we're recording and we will create some sort of resource for you to access the recordings, as well as we will be working on the handbook with the abstracts, with session summaries, so you can again take that away and have that, you know, share that with your colleagues and reference that and come back to it. So just give us a bit of time to get that all done and we will make sure to communicate that with you. Very important one, I think it's in a couple of slides. And the next one, and another one. This one, this is the probably the most important slide of the day. We would love to know how we can improve symposium in future. What have we done right, what could be improved? What were your reflection of the day? Obviously the mirror has been collecting some of those reflections already, but we would love to know more. I'm going to fill this out. I also will have that in the email for you on Monday. And I, okay, my personal reflection as a new coordinator at SVA. I, a lot of that I've been hearing from my predecessors is that it's a very hard work and a lot is on the coordinator and I, my experience is very different to that and it's been only a couple of months of me doing this work and I can definitely tell that it's not just me who has been organizing the symposium, who's been, you know, taking, making sure the network is running. UNISQ has done an incredible job to make sure SVA is supported and resourced and you will hear from, you will hear quite a, quite a list of people who've been involved in organizing the symposium and that just is a reflection of the commitment that SVA has to ensure this goes on and this grows, but also I think overall we can see the progression of like the value and the importance of this work and it's been recognized and championed by leadership. So huge thanks. I'm going to go through the list and I hope you all, you know, recognize again just how many people were involved in bringing this together. So huge thanks to Ali Jackay. So, without Ali, you know, who is the director is very busy. She would always happy to look at the resources links, check the email, just being the soundboard for me to feel like I'm not like the only one who's doing this work so I really appreciate your dedication to the network. I big thanks to Jim Nyland who opened the symposium today as a convener of the steering group and also being quite quite interested in success of this symposium as well. His support is quite valuable for my work as well. So thanks to Andrew Johnson, who has been a great backup for me honestly and also signed in board checking links, but also convening the operational group and obviously today being an incredible host of the panel. So thank you to all of you who have UNISQ events and comms team who have been running the show. I feel like, you know, there's a term of passenger princess. I feel like I was a passenger princess of this conference in terms of just not dealing with logistics too much. Our events team, Nat, Liv and Trinette have been just incredible looking after all of you throughout the day. We've also worked closely with our members. So it's not just UNISQ have been bringing this together. It's you. So we've, we've had five students and two practitioners. So it was Bailey who's in the room with Lisa. So also with us Jennifer. Hello from University of New Newcastle. Camille from ACU, Victoria Lister somewhere in the room as well from Griffith, Ron from UNI online and Rosemary from MQ. So all these people were integral in developing the program coming up with a theme, making sure we can explain the theme and take it further, invite speakers, moderating sessions. Without them the symposium wouldn't be what it is. Our speakers, our case study submissions, again, it's all your work. It's, you know, again, symposium wouldn't be without case studies, wouldn't be without panelists. So really thank you to our keynote, to our panelists, to our presenters at the workshop, at the workshop and student panelists at the FISHBALL everyone just again brought like came together and made this what it is. Okay, and the, okay, I think the, I think the biggest role in organizing this was actually Lisa Connolly, who we were, we hired and we made sure that, you know, we have extra hands, helping me bring this together with Lisa. I feel like you brought not just extra hands, extra feet, maybe tentacles because I feel like you've done so much in such a short period of time. And I genuinely feel very privileged to be able to collaborate with her and learn a lot of organization. So you should see how like my folders and her folders, just the difference and how drastic it is, and how organized she, she was throughout this whole time. And finally, thank you for coming here. Thank you for those who are online for sticking with us all day. I appreciate you. And now we are going to brewery. And if you, if you're wondering where it is, it's only two minutes walking. So yeah, if you walk out of the building and just go straight a little bit and then turn left. That's the brewery. We have ordered some platters for everyone. I depends how many of you turn up. We might have enough might may not but it also had some leftovers from lunch. So we'll see what we can do but this is where you continue networking where you continue. You know, club like meeting each other and personally again I have so many friends in this room. So many friends in this room that I haven't had a chance to even properly say hello probably. But that's how I feel in this sector that's where you just connect with people because you're here for the values you're here because you genuinely connect and I hope you develop friendships as well in this room and take it away with you and your institutions. Thank you. And just a final round of applause and big thanks to Anna who's done a wonderful job. Thanks everyone. Enjoy your weekend.
