Perth President Manifesto
If elected I would aim to:
· Investigate into more support for students struggling with cost of living
· Continue organising regular events with the Perth Local HISA Team and work with Cross Campus HISA Team on wider things where appropriate
· Continue promotional support for UHI Perth Sports Therapy Training Clinic
· Continue Student Consultation on the Food & Beverage facilities on-campus at Perth
In my time as Perth Depute President this year, many of the students that have approached me asking for what support is available for the cost of living. This is especially difficult for those who are not covered by a funding body (like SAAS or SFE) or where their funding body expects you will get financial support based on your parental income.
I have a strong belief that as a Students Association one of the key points is engaging with our students and running events to help provide a sense of community and togetherness. It has become so far too easy to sit at home and spend all day passively scrolling on our screens. This can feel very isolating which negatively impacts our mental health over time without even realising.
The Sports Therapy Training Clinic has been fully booked at times this year with HISA's support in distributing promotional materials. This has been helping student athletes, average students with daily living as maintenance treatments are offered as well as student therapists to get their placement hours. I understand how vial this is for therapists to get experience as last year I studied HNC Soft Tissue Therapy and now HND Sports Therapy.
Opinions on Food & Beverage are constantly changing as we have student turnover each year with people enrolling and departing from Perth College UHI.
What I will bring to the role
· Organisational knowledge from my time with HISA as Perth Depute President and being an SVR the year prior.
· I am proud to be a part of Perth College UHI and wish for everyone to have the best experience possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read my manifesto. Feel free to get in contact with me to ask me any questions about my ideas.
