A Dedicated Mindfulness Space
The Sun Room is a quiet place our residents can go to take a breather. It is a welcoming space where everyone will feel safe and comfortable and is equipped with cozy armchairs, cushions, mindful activities, soothing music, and a small library of books to borrow.
Should you need support with personal issues, academic concerns or help navigating the ins and outs of university, our Resident Support Team will be on hand just next door with drop in hours available Monday to Friday.
An Extensive Academic Tutorial Program
St George’s fosters academic excellence through a range of programs. These include free academic tutorials for most units, run by our resident tutors and senior students. All tutors have recently completed the units they teach and can therefore provide specific tools to help you excel. Tutorials are also a great way to collaborate with peers in your units. Additionally, the college provides workshops and support for general study skills, including one-on-one academic advice with our Resident Support Team.

Samantha - Senior RA
Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m in my fourth (yes, finally!) year of Engineering at UWA as well as college. I’m from the well-known Aussie island of Bali and love a good chat about home (or anything really). I am beyond excited to lead our incredible RA team this year. Trust me, they’re not just here to lend a hand; they’re some of the kindest people you’ll meet at college. When I’m not sneaking in my third nap of the day, you’ll probably find me soaking up some sunshine around college or strolling my favourite path to grab a bubble tea. I know how hectic college life can be, so feel free to knock on my door if you need a chat or on a lucky day, some study snacks too. I can’t wait to meet the coming freshers and to spend another year at St George’s with everyone!

Rosie
Hi I’m Rosie! I’m in my 4th year of uni as well as third year at college, studying English Literature and Gender Studies. I grew up right around the corner in Shenton Park, so I’m pretty familiar with the area!! When I’m not taking a cheeky midday nap or having a 1am cup of tea, you can find me listening to a podcast or pretending to study in one of our many study rooms (shout-out SCR <3). I’m always keen for a chat / tea / walk / study procrastination so please feel free to come find me anytime - my door is always open :)
I can’t wait to meet all of you, I hope you love this place as much as I do!!

Alex
Hi! I’m Alex, I’m in my third year studying law and psychology at UWA. When I’m not studying (which is more often that I’d like to admit) I’m going to the gym, beaching or demolishing a litre of milk with passion. I love the outdoors and will take absolutely any excuse to swim in the ocean. I'm originally from Adelaide with Russian and New Zealand heritage so I will swim at any time of day in any season with absolute joy. I’m always eager to have a chat and look forward to meeting you all :)

Beth
Hello! My name is Beth, and I’m in my fourth year at College and UWA, studying Anatomy and Human Biology. I grew up in Canberra, and moved to Perth at the beginning of 2022! If I’m not reading or having a nap, I can usually be found out for coffee, at the beach, or somewhere in Kings Park. I’m always down for a chat, and my door is always open (I love to procrastinate)! I’m so so keen for another year in the Castle!

Tim
Hi, I’m Tim! I’m currently in my third year of Chemistry and this is my third year at st georges. I’ve lived in Perth (legit 10 minutes up the road) all my life so I’ve got a load of recommendations on how to navigate our little city. When I’m not locked in studying, you can find me obnoxiously bashing the drums in the music room, chucking around a frisbee, or inhaling coffee in Elsey. Can’t wait to meet you all and show you why our college is the best around!

Emma
Hi I’m Emma! I’m a third-year at both College and Uni, studying Neuroscience & Psychology (lots of brain stuff) and no, I am not going to psycho-analyse you. I’m from Perth and was only meant to be at college for one year but loved it so much that I just won’t leave. I love to get involved wherever I can, with college events as well as UWA social sports, and strongly encourage you to do the same!! I am often found procrastinating my lab reports in literally any way possible, such as by having a throw of frisbee on front lawn. You might also find me doing the Connections at breakfast or rapping Can’t Hold Us at our themed JCR parties. No matter how stressed or busy I may seem I am always down for a chat, and am extremely excited for another superb year!

Archie
Hi! My name is Archie and I’m in my third year here at UWA studying Marketing and Management at the Business School. I’m from Perth but I went to boarding school in Melbourne and now live just down the road from college and absolutely am loving my time here at Georges. I spend far too much time away from home even though I live so close, and this is a credit to the great friends I’ve made here in this tight community (as well as the amazing food). I’m a sucker for the beach, going on road trips and camping with friends. I also love being involved in social sports and college events as I believe that getting involved is the best and easiest way to get to know people here at Georges. Can’t wait to see everyone getting stuck into our adventurous life here at the castle and will be seeing you soon!!

Sienna T
Hi, my name is Sienna! I’m in my second year of civil engineering at UWA and also in my second year at George’s. I was born in Bunbury, but travelled around the world in my early years before settling in Perth, where I’ve been for the past 10 years. When I’m not in Elsey for a 3 hour long chat, you can find me sitting somewhere outside in the sun, in the college library or at one of Peth’s incredible beaches. I know what it’s like moving to a new home, so if you’re ever feeling uneasy about anything or simply want a chat, I’m usually floating around college. Super excited to meet you all in O-Week, so many new adventures await!

Ashel
Hello! I'm Ashel, a third year Environmental Science student at UWA. I'm also in my third year at college! Originally from Kerala; India, I moved to Perth in February of 2023 and have been in love with college ever since. When I'm not running clubs and events at college, you can find me Randonauting around the city or in my room studying. I can't wait to meet everyone and for another amazing year at the castle.

Jade
Hello! I’m Jade and this is my third year at St George’s and UWA, studying a double major in Law and Society and Communication and Media Studies. I grew up in the Wheatbelt town of Corrigin (famous for its dog cemetery) so I understand the highs and lows of leaving your family to move to the city. I feel very grateful that I get to call St George’s my second home and will enthusiastically get involved in any college event – be it academic, sporting or social. You can usually find me at the front of the dinner queue when there are hot chips on the menu, going for a run in King’s Park, playing hockey, or frantically pumping out an essay. I love going for hot girl walks, having a chat and a laugh, and I am so excited for you to join our St George’s family.

Dylan
Hey guys! This will be my second year in the St George’s castle as I battle through my second year of Mechanical Engineering at UWA. I'm from the Perth hills and love the outdoors. If I'm not in my room studying, you can find me outside exercising, playing social sport, or having a chat with someone around college. To take my mind off of study, I enjoy getting out for a surf, riding my bike or playing a round of golf (mind the woeful handicap). I loved my fresher experience at college and can't wait to show you all why Georges is renowned!

Maya
Hi, I'm Maya! This is my third year in the castle after moving up to Perth from Albany and I have loved my time here (despite the slight downgrade in beach quality). I'm in my first year of medicine at UWA but am more often found playing sports (especially netball, frisbee or footy) or drinking tea than studying. I'm super excited to meet everyone and am always down for a chat, walk or coffee!
-
Darcy
Hey everyone, I'm Darcy. I'm in my second year at college and uni. I study commerce at UWA and can be found at some of the business school events. I'm originally from Busselton and moved up for my studies. I love exploring the City or Freo, finding new places to go or things to do. If I’m not at uni I can probably be found around the snooker room or having a laugh and a yap in Elsey after dinner. My year at college has created so many memories and I can't wait for another year of fun to begin!

Sienna B
Hello there, I’m Sienna! I'm a third-year student at both college and UWA. I'm studying Human Science and Neuroscience, with a few Arts electives sprinkled in between to keep me sane (definitely recommend the creative writing unit!). My favourite things are charcuterie boards, the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film, scoring soccer goals and scoring op shop steals (in that order). I grew up in the South West, and I know how difficult it can be moving to the big city. Having King’s Park right on our doorstep is definitely just one of the things I adore about St George’s. I hope I can help you fall in love with this place as much as I have!

Joe
Hey, I’m Joe! I’m currently in my second year of college and uni, studying Anatomy and Human Biology. I was born in Liverpool (the accent does not exist) and I moved to Australia when I was 5. If I’m not taking all the cookies from Elsey you’ll probably find me procrastinating in the snooker room or at the gym. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone this upcoming year and seeing the journey all of you take at this amazing college. (Also I’m the one with the fire hot pink crocs)

Annabel
Hi I’m Annabel! I’m in my second year of English and Literary Studies here at UWA and this is also my second year at George’s. I’ve lived right here in Perth my whole life so I know my way around pretty well. You can usually find me sleeping, pretending to study or straight up procrastinating so I’m always eager for a chat or any distractions you bring my way. I’m always eager to get involved in things around college from formal dinners to the college play and I strongly encourage you all to embrace it too. I’m so excited to meet all of you and can’t wait for you guys to experience life here in the castle.

Matthew
Hello, my name is Matthew. I am a second year student studying a Bachelor of Commerce at UWA. I moved up to St. George’s from the south west so I am familiar with what the simultaneous transition to college and city life is like, and I am here to offer help and advice wherever needed. I am passionate about academia, in particular philosophy and ethics, so I am always open to having an insightful and thought provoking discussion. Living at St. George’s is simply one of the most wonderful experiences of my life, it has provided me with countless opportunities and is an outstanding environment to help support you to flourish. I hope I can contribute what little I can to helping make your experience here at St. George’s as wonderful as mine. Get excited for O-week(s) and be ready to jump right into college life.
