Student Mentor Program

The Hub has a Student Mentor Program.  We are looking for student mentors who are interested in assisting new international students to settle in to their studies who may be feeling isolated or lonely.  Mentors can be local or international students. We are also looking for new international students who would like to be paired up with and older student to help them adjust to life at Monash. For more information, see the Peer Mentor website.

Late Arrival/Orientation Program

The Late Arrival Program is held daily from the end of Orientation week through to week three of each semester. The program assists students who are new to Monash, Clayton and Melbourne. This popular program introduces participants to the information they missed during the mainstream orientation week and provides opportunities for social interaction with other new students. The program is also available on request for research students who arrive outside of the mainstream orientation period. For more information, email hub.clayton@adm.monash.edu.au.

Campus Connect

Each campus organises regular events and activities for international and local students to get together and enjoy themselves. Visit the following link for a schedule of upcoming activities.

Language Exchange Program

The Language Exchange Program involves international students offering to help local students who are studying or interested in a foreign language - for example Japanese, Indonesia, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, German and French. In exchange, international students receive assistance with English communication and friendly interaction with locals. Participants are matched to language requested, age and male/female preference. Participants are encouraged to meet for approximately one hour per week. For more information, please visit the Language Exchange Program website.

Family Events

To support students with families and enhance the Australian experience of students studying across all campuses, a number of specially organised family events and activities run throughout the year. Previous outings have included trips to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Puffing Billy train and Daydreamers Indoor Play Centre. Family events are also held on various campuses such as the annual Melbourne Cup Day BBQ.
