"I am hoping to work on the roll-out of the Mental Health First Aid training initiative across all Faculties, ensuring that both HDR and coursework students have the tools to identify, assist and cope with a mental health issue at Curtin."
"My advice for current and future students is to be involved in as many groups as you can, not only from the academic point of view but also extracurricular activities, which will help you to increase your networking and your chance of meeting new friends."
"I am most looking forward to is community building. I have got some regular Meet and Greets planned as well as collabs with the other Equity Departments, I cannot wait to meet students and build a little network!"
"I will be continuing the amazing work of my predecessors by providing advice and advocacy for any queer-related issues on campus—especially all-gender bathrooms, preferred names on rollcalls, and providing a voice for all queer students at Curtin."
"I’ve already started to grow Curtin’s Women’s community online and in person, and am working on events and projects to commence this year."
"I think that in university you should be able to choose when and how you study with much more precision and flexibility than what we have now."
"I want to make sure students in my faculty are given opportunities to transition into the workplace and work towards greater funding for clubs."
"Study is one thing, but I think the university experience is a bit more than that, it is about making friends, new connections and going to events."
"I am all for online classes, but that must be a choice each student makes. The slow return to face-to-face for some subjects is making it harder for students who learn better in a physical classroom capacity."
"Learning is a noble pursuit and is something we should be encouraging people to do, not penalising them for it."
"For students to succeed, we need to ensure that we are prioritising their wellbeing."
"I am hoping to bring this campus back to life after COVID shut us down for the bigger part of 2020, that means bigger and better events, and giving clubs the space and support to truly shine."
"I want to make sure students are informed about what is going on, and I want them to realise that they have the power to demand better."
