UniSC students can engage in volunteer, leadership or representative partnership opportunities
The UniSC Students as Partners (SaP) is a volunteer program that enables UniSC students to participate in extra-curricular activities on campus or online.
SaP offers a range of flexible volunteer opportunities to help students to:
- build networks through new connections,
- amplify the student voice,
- improve the student experience,
- develop qualities and skills to build graduate attributes, and
- enhance employability.
The program is flexible to fit into busy student life, and students can register at any stage throughout their studies.
There are three volunteer roles- and students can choose to do some or all of them:
- Volunteers who help at UniSC events (on-campus and online) and co-create projects
- Leaders who share their study tips and advice to new students
- Representatives who represent the student cohort in UniSC decision making
UniSC Student Leadership Award
By engaging with a number of extracurricular opportunities with the Students as Partners program and in wider community, students can also accrue points towards the Student Leadership Award.
Hear from SaP members
Amanda Fiedler, PhD School of Business and Creative Industries, Student Representative
"I became a student rep to make connections with other students and because I believe the student voice needs to be heard in university decision making. Being a student rep has given me a community, a sense of achievement, and the opportunity to give back to UniSC."
Olivia Hall, Bachelor of Nursing Science, Volunteer and Student Leader
"I decided to become a student volunteer and leader at UniSC so I could open my horizons and meet new people. I enjoy volunteering at events on Campus so that I can meet new people and further engage in Uni life, volunteering allows me to learn things that I wouldn’t learn in other areas."
Michael Tedge, Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronic) (Honours), Student Leader and Representative
"I currently enjoy being a co-chair of the School Student Group for the School of Science, Technology and Engineering, volunteering at academic drop-in sessions, and I have also joined the Engineering Staff-Student Liaison Committee."
