Hi, I'm Lucas, and I'd love to be your year 1 academic representative.
Why me? I was Deputy Head Boy and Senior Prefect at my old schools, meeting regularly with the senior leadership team and passing on student feedback. I was also top achiever at my secondary school and sixth form, and I'm aiming for the Dean's List this year, so I know how much the academic environment shapes what you can achieve.
My background matters. I come from non-selective state education, with no private tuition or extra help, so I know how much depends on the people and staff around you. Everyone deserves the best possible teaching and support, so I'll report student feedback to the department to construct an ideal learning environment.
I'm a team player. Being your representative isn't a solo effort. Having captained football teams for both club and school, I know the best results come from working together with you, fellow reps and staff.
I'm not afraid to speak up. Confidence matters in this role. If something needs addressing, however small it is, it will be brought up to the department.
My three promises:
- An easily accessible feedback system between you and me
- Quick action on the issues you raise
- A suitable academic environment for maximum achievement
I can assure you that I will not let you down as your academic representative.
