The logo of the Source

Until 2006, The Source was the largest student organisation at the University of New South Wales (Kensington Campus) in Sydney, Australia.

Membership

During its active life, all students of the University of New South Wales were automatically members of the Source^[1]. Students were required to pay an upfront membership fee every semester. However, this changed from the start of 2007, with the Voluntary Student Unionism coming into effect in all Australian universities, meaning that compulsory membership could no longer apply from the start of the 2007 academic year. Voluntary student unionism (VSU) is a policy under which membership of – and payment of membership fees to – university student organisations is not compulsory. ...

Mission statement

The Mission of the Source was “To be the community centre of the University"^[2]

The Source aimed to achieve this mission by providing a number of services and support to nurture the University of New South Wales community.

Board of Directors

The Source was governed by a 14-member board. The Directors of the Board were apportioned to represent the key stakeholders of the organisation: seven members were elected by the student population, three members were elected from the Source's Life Members, and three Directors were appointed directly by the University Council. The CEO was also a Director, however in an ex-officio and non-voting capacity.

Other than the CEO, the term of a Director of the Source was two years. Elections for these positions were held each May each year, in a staggered cycle (ie: only half of the available positions are open for election in any calendar year). Nominations usually opened mid March prior to the election, and were open to any student at UNSW who was a financial member of the organisation, or life member, for the ordinary member or life member positions respectively.

In addition to the Board of Directors, the Source had a number of committees which looked after particular areas of the Source's operations. The two main committees, Commercial Services Committee and Membership Services Committee, allowed students the opportunity to apply for a place on the committee for a period of one year. These co-optee positions had full voting rights, and applications were open to the entire student community during the first two weeks of the semester of the academic year.

Functions

The Source managed three key buildings on the lower campus of the University of New South Wales: the Roundhouse, Squarehouse, and Blockhouse. The Roundhouse (under construction in 2005) The Roundhouse is an arts venue in London, England. ...

The functions of the Source were varied, and involved the provision of food and retail services, as well as entertainment, student development, volunteer programs, "what's on" information and publications to the University community.

Members of the Source received a 10% discount on all purchases upon presentation of their Source discount card. At the point at which it ceased to operate, the Source's food and retail operations were as follows:

Entertainment

The Source provided regular on campus entertainment at the UNSW Kensington Campus, including bands, trivia nights, comedy nights, free movies, parties, arcade games, pool competitions, and table tennis competitions.

The Roundhouse was the Source’s multi-purpose entertainment venue, which was the focus of most of the on-campus entertainment. The Roundhouse continues to serve this function within the New Student Organisation, and houses the Unibar, and it is here where the major Uni parties take place.

• Oktoberfest (Week Twelve of Session Two).

During the operation of the Source, there were also a number of other events that happened annually on campus, like Mooncake Yum Cha, ArtsWeek, and SourceFest, as well as a variety of weekly entertainment events throughout the University semester. Whether these regular events will continue under the management of the New Student Organisation will remain to be seen.

The Roundhouse also has an arcade games hall, as well as a number of smaller rooms that clubs and student groups can hire for free (including the Cougar Club Bar) to put on their own events. However, clubs and student groups must pay for any additional services required with the hire such as bar staff and will be required to pay for security outside of normal operating hours.

Publications

The Source produced a weekly publication, Blitz, which includes a ‘What’s On’ for the UNSW Kensington campus.

Club and Society Support

Clubs and Societies of UNSW students could apply for grants from the Source to assist them in running events that benefited the campus community. Applications can be made for two types of grants:

• • Category A Grants: These grants of up to $300 were of an in-kind nature. This could include food or drink product, room hire, photocopying and any other of the Source's services. A club could apply for up to three Category A Grants each semester.
  • Category B Grants: These grants were in the form of cash donations, and were for the purpose of supporting clubs and societies who put on three or more events over a single semester, or one large scale event (like a Revue or dance party). Applications could be made for grants of up to $1000.00 in this category once per semester. Applications would only be accepted in the first few weeks of each semester.

A club or society may have received either a Category A or Category B grant, but not both within one semester.

Catering

The Source also ran two catering services on campus which operate through the Squarehouse building. Roundtable Catering provided catering services across the campus for business and academic functions as well as providing service and food for functions for student groups and societies. Student Catering was a catering service mainly focused student groups and provides ready-to-serve food at a cheaper price than Roundtable Catering.
