The College is delighted to announce the election and appointment of an impressive team of student leaders to serve the St Mark’s College community in 2022.
Members of the College Club Committee for 2022 were elected at the recent Final General Meeting of College students, and students have been appointed to other leadership roles following a rigorous application and selection process, including leadership training prior to application.
Our student leaders are vital to the life of the College. They assist in leading, fostering, and nurturing our College community, including through the provision of academic and wellbeing support to fellow students, organising sporting, cultural, social and service activities across the year, and much else besides.
Student leadership positions give students superb opportunities to develop their leadership and teamwork skills, and to undertake the community service that has been at the heart of the values and ethos of St Mark’s College since its founding in 1925. Experience in these roles also provides invaluable preparation for students’ lives and careers after College.
We are enormously grateful to all our students who are willing to serve the St Mark’s community in this way.
We would like to give a huge thank you to our outgoing student leaders, who have given so much to our community over the past year, and we congratulate the following student leaders for 2022:
