Port Macquarie

After graduating from NED University in Pakistan with a degree in Telecommunications Engineering, I realized the future of work will be in the techno-commercial world, so i moved to Australia for higher degree.

I am doing MIT from Charles Sturt University Port Macquarie NSW, Australia. I was the National Post Graduate Officer of CISA for the year 2018-2019. I found studying and living in a regional area was quite difficult to follow your passion but having support from his University and friends made it easier and has provided so many unexpected opportunities.

I have learnt a lot as the officer of the Council of International Students Australia (CISA) and is very proud to be elected President of the Charles Sturt International Student Association and to be able to share his passion for Charles Sturt as a Student Ambassador and the Port International student Club Adviser.

I am nominating myself for SRC due to the qualities I believe I hold such as, commitment, leadership, integrity, independence, encouragement and a team ethic. These qualities can be seen throughout all of my commitments and achievements.

I am apart of the Residential Association of Port Macquarie, as well as being a student mentor with Stronger and future moves. I am a vice patrol captain at my surf club back in Newcastle, where I coordinate a disability nippers’ program and the youth coordinator. I am also a member at Port Macquarie SLSC at Flynn’s beach where I am a valued member of my patrol as the IRB Driver.

My latest achievement was being nominated for young volunteer of the year for Hunter surf lifesaving. Issues I find important are that students are treated as individuals and not considered to just being a number with the rapid expansion of the university.

I would love to be your Representative to make real changes to the University. Not only from the purely academic but to our on and off campus events and the last memories you will make.

I want to see everyone at this University no matter the year or the course succeed, whether it’s through peer tutoring, more textbooks that are available for our courses or trying to implement better systems for exam time studying. My hopes through the SRC is to be more approachable for all students collecting concerns, ideas, questions or even mentoring and helping anyone in need for psychology or law.

If I get voted into the SRC I would love to make your voices heard and to try my best to make your words into actions.

I wish to be a part of the Port Macquarie SRC because I believe that I would be a great resource to have on campus. Coming from the Creative Arts/Design cohort, I believe in representing and listening to all students who need help and assistance with their studies and any other issues they may have.

I ‘hope’ to be someone that fellow peers can look up to and go to for guidance. I believe that there are so many opportunities that could make the Port Macquarie campus ever greater and if you vote for me I will ensure your issues are heard! I want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys their time studying at CSU!

I would like to increase leisure/sporting activities for students while studying & hopefully help with matters that are important to students in making Port Macquarie campus the best it can be for community engagement.

¡Hola! My name is Kate Dorman and I am doing something pretty crazy by running for Port SRC. Why am I doing it? Because I believe in stepping out of your comfort zone to possibly achieve awesome things.

So whether it be something bold like wearing that bright coloured shirt, trying out a new sport/activity, or talking to someone new (that you might end up being best mates with). Whatever you do, I am sure that it will make someone's day (I know at least one who would be proud).

So as I step out with a plug of scary publicity, will you do something bold today? You can do it, or in Japanese, がんばって

As a first year Occupational therapy student, I'm nominating for the SRC to be a voice for all OT students and to collaborate with the rest of the uni.

I'm hoping I can bring forth new and creative ideas to make student life even better! I hope to bring an OT perspective to the council and look forward to forming a network between occupational therapy and those of other degrees.

I'm proactive and will endeavour to find a solution to all and any issues. OT's our voices need to be heard and I'm your girl!

As a teaching student I am passionate about student development and I would like the chance to be part of a team that has the ability to focus on this. I am a person who has a loud voice and wish to put this to good use by being a voice for so many students that study at this campus.

Working with the future moves and Student ambassador teams have given me a glimpse of what working for students is about and I intend to put some of that training towards making a difference for our current students. I also find myself as an organised person and would thoroughly enjoy being a part of all activities that happen around campus.

I believe our current SRC team do a great job and I believe I could continue doing that with them.

I am Melissa. I wish to be part of SRC because I believe can help bring another creative voice to the SRC as a member of the new Graphic design course. I also can bring a voice of someone who has had to change degrees.

This gives people someone who has experienced it, first-hand someone, to talk to about the process of changing and how to change outside of student central. I am confident and comfortable helping people and I am very approachable and happy to hear any comments from anyone in any degree and bring these issues to the SRC.

I am a first-year mature age student and I have really loved my time at CSU so far. I want to be as involved as possible, to meet new people and to continue improving our growing campus.

I think it is extremely important that the services we have available (such as ALLANS, counselling, etc) remain affordable and easily accessible for all students. I want to ensure that everyone feels safe on campus and that it is in an environment free from discrimination.

I have a 19-month-old son and being a mum whilst studying can be really difficult at times. I think it is important to have more resources and support for parents that are studying. In particular, a creche would be hugely beneficial to those with young children struggling to find care in this town. It would also provide potential job opportunities for the students.

The SRC is the opportunity for actions to happen as a result of deep listening. Actions that will benefit all students, staff, our environment and our community. This is what I believe the SRC is and is capable of and thus its immense value.

I would be immensely grateful to be able to bring my passion for breaking cultural barriers and caring and connecting with our environment to the SRC team. Alongside these passions are ideas. Ideas that I’ve partially been able to bring to life through our emerging Port Outdoors club.

However, my position within the SRC will boost my ability to incorporate all students in activities and events that will bring an array of students together while socialising outdoors, which I believe is essential for healthy, creative and collaborative future leaders. I would love to help with sustainability, multicultural involvement and having fun in all SRC events :)

I wish to be a part of the SRC because as a graphic design student, I believe it is important that us smaller cohorts are represented fairly and equally. I also would love to jump into uni life and take a hands-on approach to the events held at the University.

Being a second-year has allowed me to gain the experience necessary to understand Uni life and I feel that I could take a strategic approach to solve any issues that you may have.

I have also been a part of O-Week 2019, from this I have gained excellent leadership and people skills so I will be very approachable if you would like to voice any concerns or ideas that you may have.

My name Surya Kumar Eleti and I am currently pursuing my Masters in Information Technology. I want to join SRC as I have enough confidence to play an active role in the ongoing improvement of our Port Macquarie campus.

Being a part of SRC will provide me a wonderful opportunity to be a part of team to help the students in every situation. I try to interact with each and every individual student to express their problems. I will try my best to solve all of them.

I have enough confidence to genuinely represent Port Macquarie students and a demonstrated passion for promoting our interests and wellbeing, as your VOICE I will continue to faithfully and effectively promote your interests on the SRC. Lastly, all the very best to others who are nominating to be a part of SRC.

Whilst studying at CSU I have admired from afar what our SRC does and how committed they are to their role in our community. I would like to join the SRC because I believe that I carry some of the same qualities such as responsibility, dedication and enthusiasm.

I am currently in my 2nd year of Paramedicine and through this degree, I have come to understand the importance of effective communication and teamwork. I would love to help contribute these healthy characteristics in our local SRC.

Being an indigenous woman, I am very passionate about my culture and helping support indigenous people around me. I also am passionate about women and supporting them. For example, running a Share the Dignity collection point at the university. Not only that but I enjoy being apart of positive change and sharing ideas that everyone can benefit from.

General Representative elected in 2018.
