SCR Mini Dinners Each year, the Senior Common Room (SCR) organises a number of events to facilitate the communal life of the College. Mini Dinners, Wine & Cheese Nights and Careers Evenings are some of the events designed to achieve this. A Mini Dinner is an opportunity for all members of the College to attend a formal occasion at which a guest speaker will present an address. Our residents benefi t from the content of that address as well as the context in which it’s presented. Residents are also welcome to invite their parents and guardians to attend the evening. Senior Academic Tutor Sarah Gador-Whyte organised this year’s Mini Dinners, the fi rst of which was held in August. The guest speaker was the CEO of Teach For Australia, Melodie Potts Rosevear. The primary objective of Teach for Australia is to improve student outcomes in areas of educational disadvantage. They do this by recruiting, training and supporting university graduates to teach in disadvantaged high schools for two years. Over time, a network of alumni will form, who are interested in and knowledgeable about schools and education, committed to educational equity and destined to become exceptional leaders. Georgian Sara Peet (2003) is moving to Victoria in January to take part in the Teach For Australia program, see page 20 for her story. The second SCR Mini Dinner was held in October and Professor Stephan Lewandowsky was the guest speaker. Professor Lewandowsky is a Professorial Fellow at the School of Psychology at UWA, and he spoke to dinner guests about the psychology of climate change denial. Georgians who assisted with the Annual Giving Programme by signing letters were also invited to attend, and enjoyed the opportunity to chat to current residents.
