 On behalf of Howitt Hall, I'd like to wish all of our residents a happy and safe summer.

2009 has been an incredible year for Howitt Hall, and, to our departing residents, we say a sad farewell. To those returning in 2010, enjoy your break, and prepare for another fantastic year at Howitt! 

We are pleased to announce the 2010 Howitt Hall

Residential Support Team,
O Week Team &
2010 Howitt Hall Society Executive.

 It is our pleasure to announce the 2010 Residential Support Team.

The RST consists of the College Head, Deputy College Head, Residential Support Assistant, and ten Resident Advisors (RAs), and their main jobs are to introduce new residents to the Hall and the University and to look after pastoral care and community development issues in the Hall.

There are a few new faces to the team for 2010 - click here to meet them.

Congratulations Howitt!

Howittians attended the MRS Clayton Awards Night in huge numbers to see Howitt take out a number of top honours at the biggest awards night of the year. Of four awards available Howitt took out three.

Howitt showed its community spirit by winning the MRS Vampire Shield, donating enough blood to save 51 lives this semester. Howitt also won the MRS Environment Award, for the highest participation in environmental activities across Clayton campus.

Are you a leader in the Hall? Have you ever pictured yourself as one of Howitt's Resident Advisors, or at the helm of Howitt Hall Society?

This Sunday Howitt will hold a Leadership 2010 Information Night.  The panel will include Tracey, Ashleigh, Shannon, your RAs and Howitt Hall Society to tell you exactly what it means to be a leader in the Hall, and give you an opportunity to have all your questions answered. You will also find out how to go about applying to be an RA or nominating for Society. Meet before supper (9pm) on Sunday, 13 September in the GFCR.

After a sad farewell to our awesome semester one exchange students, Howitt Hall has opened its arms to welcome our new batch of exchange students and new residents, and is preparing a Reorientation week to give them a proper introduction to Halls life.

For our returning residents, welcome back! Semester one created some great memories and saw Howitt achieve some fantastic things, and semester two is set to be busy, action packed, and full of Howitt Spirit!

Wednesday 4th March is your chance to make your mark on Howitt history by being elected to Howitt Hall Society, or by taking part in the election.

During the Jungle Fever Dine In that night, Howitt will pause momentarily to elect:

• HHS Vice President
• 5 General Members
• 2 Sports Representatives
• 1 First Year Representative

When I first moved into Howitt I was confused about what I should bring to the hall and what would be provided for me. This list details what you’ll find here for you when you move into Howitt, and also some things that many of our past residents have found useful in bringing with them to the hall
