These awards recognise and promote the outstanding contributions and achievements both off and on campus of students who combine part-time work alongside their studies.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Mount Oswald Hub on Wednesday 30th April 2025 to celebrate this year’s Student Employee of the Year Awards. It was a fantastic afternoon recognising the incredible achievements of our student employees and the outstanding support from their employers.
Congratulations to all of our nominees across the various categories—your dedication, impact, and hard work truly embody what it means to be a student employee. A special thank you to the employers who continue to provide meaningful and exceptional employment opportunities to our students.
