Graduate House Student Group (GHSG) Formed in 2014, and later becoming a constituted affiliated member of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) of The University of Melbourne, the Graduate House Student Group (GHSG) has been responsible for arranging activities to keep the residents of Graduate House engaged, entertained and made to feel included in their home away from home.

Since 2015, the positions of President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and various coordinators including publicity, sports, events as well as arts have composed the leadership team. The GHSG puts much time and effort into establishing frequent events and initiatives for Residents. Particular highlights have included the Dinner Welcome tables created for new residents to sit, relax and have dinner with their fellow residents. Various parties, such as the Bollywood night, Easter Egg Hunt and the Halloween party, and more formal events, such as the Graduate House Ball have mostly, if not entirely, been initiated and developed by the members of this Group. Without the initiatives of the Student Group an essential part – a vibrancy – of college life would be lacking. Great work team!
