House Committee

An elected House Committee in the Hall strengthens the sense of the Hall community through the organisation of many inter-collegiate sporting competitions and a wide range of social and cultural events throughout the year.

Roles and responsibilities 

The Committee devotes much of its time to the organisation of social, cultural and sporting activities on behalf of the Hall residents and with the Colleges affiliated with Adelaide University. Through these activities participants are provided with opportunities to extend their interests and friendships.

The House Committee is also a means of representing resident’s opinions on current Hall issues. The President of the House Committee meets weekly with the Tutor group and is the resident’s representative on the Flinders Housing Board.

The House Committee is also responsible for organising the social and sporting aspects of the Orientation Programme at the commencement of the year and for arranging a team of continuing students to act as guides throughout this week.
