Annoucement from your Student Rep, Cameron Greatorex


[Please read and respond if appropriate to Cam at cameron.greatorex@hotmail.com]

1. Are you representing another course, if so, would you introduce yourself to me ? I would love to get to know you, and see if you are encountering any obstacles or if is there anything I can learn from you.

2. Have you submitted or been nominated for the Benson & Cooper Sustainability Challenge? Nominations close on Monday 16 Aug.

3. In training to become a rep I have realised...
- You don't have to be A+ student to represent a class.
- Student communications with lecturers at this level is exceptional, but down the track in lvl2, lvl3 and hons communications can be strained or difficult. If english isn't your first language, you may need help communicating.
- Sh*# happens. Leases on flats expire, evictions can happen, passing of a family member and injury can impede study. Being swift to communicate and get help early is critical -- whether you decide to halt academic pursuits or dig deep and push through the tough times.

In Sum: Universities and their relative institutions/associations are structured to help students succeed. All you have to do is be upfront and ask for help when you need it. That's what I'm here for.

End note - Did you know Studylink offers students $300 pa. for dental services? And there are many more ways in which Studylink can help you get what you need to succeed.
