I feel so grateful and exhilarated to begin my teaching journey
at Irymple South Primary School. The past four years at La
Trobe have been challenging, rewarding and memorable. I have
been able to grow as an individual and teacher throughout
my time at university. La Trobe has helped me become more
confident in my ability to teach and support students in their
learning journey. The staff and students at Mildura go above
and beyond to support each other, and I could not imagine
completing my degree at any other university.
Abbey Carpenter
Bachelor of Education (Primary)
I began my Graduate Nurse Year at Mildura Base Public
Hospital in 2020. It was during this time also that we were
faced with the global pandemic and the need and value for
nurses increased dramatically. After completing my Graduate
Nurse Program, I felt overwhelmed with pride and appreciation
for my fellow nurses, as well as all other health professionals
that I worked with. I have now secured a permanent position
in our hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, and I am absolutely in love
with my career. I aspire to eventually complete further study
and specialise in the critical care areas of the Intensive Care
Unit and the Emergency Department.
Conci Malcotti
Bachelor of Nursing
My role at Sunraysia Community Health Services is
Accounting Officer. My work placement here during uni was
great and I was offered continuous work afterwards. It feels
great to be able to use the skills and knowledge that I learned
during my three years at La Trobe in a work environment. I
really enjoy working with a wonderful team and organisation,
it is very rewarding assisting our community.

Ceremonial tradition
Academic regalia
Universities are heirs to traditions going back eight centuries. The colourful robes worn by today’s
graduands originate from the everyday dress of scholars and teachers in the Middle Ages. The traditions
and colours can vary between institutions, which is why you may notice some differences in style among
the academic procession.
For universities in the English-speaking world, there are normally three separate garments – the gown,
the hood, and the cap. Bachelors and Masters wear the hard cap known as the trencher, or mortarboard.
Doctors wear a soft velvet cap with a tassel of the colour appropriate to their discipline.

BROWN
Doctor of Philosophy
Excess as Form
Dr Brown explored
artistic alternatives and
critiques of neoliberalism.
The thesis argues that
neoliberal capitalism drives
anthropogenic excess, and
proposes an artistic strategy
that overidentifies with that
excess through tactics of
mirroring, magnifying and
subversively affirming.
The findings contribute
to enhancing the artistic
insight needed to build the
subjectivity for collective
political change.
