We Lead Initiatives
Aside from the work we do in curriculum co-creation that is led by the Curriculum Champions, we also lead a variety of initiatives that
support our University to scale Student-Staff Partnership.
Projects we’re leading at WSU.
From hosting the National Students as Partners Roundtable in 2021 to co-creating a subject about Student-Staff Partnership, we are developing the institutional mechanisms designed to scale Partnership.
Our Latest Initiative
The Partnership
X-Change Hub

experience the world of Student-Staff Partnership.
Projects We Have Initiated

An Elective Subject - for Western students
This project-based unit offers students a chance to learn, negotiate and practise change-making skills in, and for, our University, Western Sydney University. At the heart of this unit is Student-Staff Partnership, curriculum co-creation, and an invitation for students to be involved in improving educational experiences at Western.

A Curiosity Pod - for Western students
Curiosity Pods (C-Pod) are short, online and free learning experience for WSU students. This particular C-Pod introduces students to the concept of a “Partnership Mindset”. It equips them with the knowledge they need to be a curious, empathetic and effective student partner. The Curiosity Pod is embedded in the “We Are the University” subject (HUMN 3108).
