Janet Clarke Hall (JCH) is a residential college of the University of Melbourne in Australia.
One of the smaller colleges, JCH is a residence where students live, learn, and grow alongside academics, researchers, and practitioners, developing not only discipline-specific knowledge and skills but the broad intellectual curiosity which will help them become the thought leaders and changemakers of the future.
Established in 1886 as a residential hostel for women students of Trinity College, JCH was originally called the 'Trinity College Hostel'.
[1] Enid Joske was principal of JCH from 1928 until 1952 despite the uncooperation of the warden of Trinity,[2] Dr Eva Eden was principal from 1964 until 1983.
