Meet your SCC Student Representatives

My name is Caity and I am currently lucky enough to be a student representative for the online cohort! I am currently undertaking a double degree in criminology/Laws and have completed the majority of my studies online which has provided me with the unique experience to travel AND study concurrently. I have a massive passion for travel and am also a bit of an adrenaline junkie, you can usually find me jumping out of planes or off perfectly fine bridges!

As a result of this opportunity, it has given me great insight regarding my large array of interaction with UNE and now I am finally able to give back! I am passionate about making the UNE online experience first class, especially now that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the need for efficient, flexible and accessible education.

Please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions or just need someone to listen, I am all ears!!!

My name is Phoebe Kaye and I am an online representative in the Student Consultative Council. I am studying a Bachelor of Education (K-6) and currently completing my second year of study. I live in Broken Hill, which is in Far West New South Wales. I have a background in education with my mother being a teacher and completing a year as a governess on a sheep and goat station as well as working in after school care services.

The reason I wanted to join the SCC is because I felt as though students studying remotely like myself did not have much of a voice at the University. There are 20+ UNE students that I am aware of in the Broken Hill region and I wanted to give them a voice and see that their feedback and concerns were heard by the UNE community. I am looking forward to working as a team to see UNE improve for all its students and staff.

My election as a SCC representative aligns with my belief that education (and all the aspects that go with it) should be equally accessible to everyone regardless of their circumstances. For personal development, I take the opportunity in assisting people with their issues as a formative basis to constructing rationale and practical solutions. As a law student, I firmly believe that through listening and understanding different perspectives is fundamental to the continuous development personal objectivity and neutrality.

Arguably, my most important goal is within the role is to build meaningful relationships with others. I, as many others, understand the professional, social and personal benefits constructive relationships have in both the quality and quantity of issues people are willing to reveal. I look forward to assisting wherever my help is best suited.

I am an online student who juggles part-time study, life and full-time work commitments. As an undergraduate student representative on the SCC I aim to act as a conduit between students and UNE staff, bringing attention to any issues/suggestions/feedback raised to me. I want to make sure that your voice is heard and accounted for in decisions, so that these decisions improve upon the UNE community for the benefit of us all.

My name is Jess Falco, I’m 23 and I am studying the Pathways Enabling Course at UNE. I currently live in Port Lincoln, South Australia (which is about 600 kms from Adelaide) and work in child disability/allied health as an admin and allied health assistant. My main goal is to go on to study Psychology so I can bring a necessary service to my area.  

I wanted to be a part of the SCC to give a voice to students and to assist everyone to have equitable access, particularly from the perspective of non-traditional entry into university. I am very excited to go on this journey with you all!
