We are here for you…
Settling into university life and living in a residential community can be exciting – but it can also bring new challenges. One of the many benefits of living in a residential college is having extra support right where you live.
Our Academic Programs Advisor is available on-site to help you stay on track with your studies. He offers tutoring, study skills sessions and guidance with enrolment or course-related issues.
For your mental health and overall wellbeing, our Counsellor and Wellbeing Programs Advisor provides free and confidential one-on-one support. Whether you’re managing stress, building resilience or simply finding balance – we’re here to help.
Academic support
Your academic success is important to us. We want you to reach your learning goals and explore new opportunities. On-site at the College you can participate in academic programs to:
- Learn a new language
- Improve writing, Excel, and research skills
- Get tutoring for specific course units
- Enhance English-speaking abilities
- Master notetaking tips and exam techniques
- During exam periods, we treat you to special activities like yoga sessions, relaxation massages, and study goodie packs!
- Career sessions from College alumni
- Be sure to take advantage of our purpose-built Study Centre — an ideal space for quiet study or group work.
Your university also offers many additional resources such as UniMentor and StudySmarter sessions. If you need help finding the right support, our team is here to help connect you with the right people.
Health and wellbeing
Trinity Residential College has great recreational spaces including its own gym and sporting courts. We offer a variety of programs year-round including yoga, mindfulness, drumming, meditation and Mental Health First Aid training.
At Trin, your Resident Advisors (RAs) are invaluable resources. Your Wing RA is always available to support you and a Duty Officer is on hand every night to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing.
UWA also provides an extensive recreation program, along with a fully equipped gymnasium and aquatic centre. On campus, you’ll find a Medical Centre and a wellbeing space called The Living Room, offering counselling and guidance.
Throughout the year, we partner with the UWA Student Wellbeing and Engagement Team to offer informative sessions on topics like sleep hygiene, alcohol use and respectful relationships – all designed to help you prioritise your wellbeing.
Learn about respectful relationships
Meet Julie
I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, available for appointments on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each week. You’ll have the chance to get to know me during Welcome Week and I look forward to being a familiar, friendly face around Trin.
My favourite part about working at Trin? The beautiful green spaces and tranquil trees throughout the College grounds. These calm outdoor areas are perfect for pausing, recharging and taking a breath, and I encourage residents to make the most of spending time outside as an important part of supporting their wellbeing.
Meet Jeremy
As an alumnus returning to Trin in 2024 as an Academic Advisor, I’m here to support you academically and personally throughout your time at Trin. You’ll get to know me during Welcome Week and I’m always happy to chat about study plans, forming good habits or connecting you with our top-tier tutors and study groups.
My favourite part about working at Trin? Being part of the team that helps residents feel confident, connected and supported throughout their time at College – whether it’s through our career workshops, mentoring programs or simply a friendly conversation on the quad.
