Warrane College UNSW is an affiliated residential college at the University of New South Wales, Australia. The name of the College is derived from the Aboriginal word for the Sydney Cove area, "Warrang", highlighting the recognition by Warrane and UNSW of Australia’s indigenous people as original inhabitants of land on which they are located.〔(Manuel Cerda, Like a bridge over troubled waters in Sydney: Warrane College and the student protests of 1970, ''Studia et Documenta'' 4(2010) 147–181 http://www.isje.org/setd/2010/SetD%204-2010-6.pdf )〕 Warrane seeks to provide an environment in which the intellectual, moral and overall human development of its residents can flourish. More specifically, Warrane’s aims are: (1) to ensure good study conditions and further the intellectual development offered by the university; (2) to promote a spirit of friendship and understanding in an atmosphere of warmth and service to others; (3) to provide, for those students who wish it, the opportunity to know and practise the Christian faith more fully; (4) to encourage participation in all aspects of university life; (5) to foster an awareness of one’s social responsibility and of the opportunities to contribute to the needs of the society in which we live.〔(Shannon, In defence of Warrane and Opus Dei, ''Canberra Times'', June, 1974 )〕 == History == The prehistory of Warrane can be traced to the 1950s, when the Catholic archbishop of Sydney, Sir Norman Thomas Gilroy, first came into contact with members of Opus Dei and a sample of their educational initiatives in Europe. Around that time, the Archdiocese had the desire to establish a Residential College at UNSW under Catholic auspices. Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church, provided the opportunity for this desire to become a reality 〔(in Walker, ''Church, College'', pp. 434-435 )〕 and was invited to operate the college. (Education Development Association (EDA) ), a not-for-profit company and a registered charity, was set up to represent Warrane College and future initiatives of similar nature. Pastorial care is entrusted to Opus Dei. Warrane began operating at its present site in 1971 in an eight-storey building on Anzac Parade, Kensington, in the south-western corner of the UNSW campus. Warrane was officially opened by Sir Roden Cutler. Its five residential floors each provide accommodation for groups of 25 residents, two of whom are residential tutors. Since 2002 all bedrooms and bathrooms as well as dining and kitchen facilities, common areas and offices have been renovated. The College has had three Masters since 1971. Four staff members assist the Master in the running of the College: the Dean, two Assistant Deans and Bursar. Staff members live in College and make themselves available to assist students. Two residential tutors live on each residential floor. Tutors are mentors to the students, providing academic and personal support. Several academic tutors and residential fellows live in College. They are distinguished academic staff or students of UNSW who conduct the academic program of the College, including formal tutorials and consultation times for different university subjects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warrane College, University of New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
