The Students' Association is an integral part of the College Environmental Sustainability Working Group. As
well as a student voice, they also arrange engaging and inspiring events ensuring we not only meet our
aims and objectives of the College Sustainability Strategy, but also in recognising and reducing our impact
on the environment. - Fergal McCauley, Head of Facilities Management
I have welcomed the opportunity to work in partnership with the Students' Association since beginning
my role as Wellbeing officer in April 2020. I have learned from this wonderful and friendly group a lot
about the student experience in the college, and now understand better how we can support staff to
support students. - Jill Loftus, Wellbeing Officer
I found the virtual run beneficial as it helped to know that others were doing it. Donating money to a charity
close to my heart was great and I would do it again if one was organised! - Student Participant

Class Rep training was a fantastic opportunity for me to learn new skills and develop in my role. The
session on making change happen helped me build better relationships with my lecturers and my class.

City SA Impact Report 2020/21 26
As convener of the down to earth environmental society, I have gained leadership skills and knowledge
surrounding environmental issues. Working as part of a team has allowed me to strengthen my awareness
of other ideas and input that has helped to create a society that embraces all students from all
backgrounds. I would like to greatly thank the SA for their efforts in providing fun and outgoing online
societies under these extreme circumstances. This year has taught us just how strong we are as individuals
and if we can get through a covid pandemic then I am sure we can get through anything. - Emma Ewart,
Society Convenner
As Equalities Officer at CitySA I learned of complex and simple needs that students in the college have and
how these needs are facilitated. I worked along like minded individuals in the student Parliament and
knowing that my peers share a collective ethos and beliefs developed at CitySA going into their varied
industries gives me hope for a better, stronger and sustainable future. - Zahra Khan, Equalities Officer
Working with the SA this has been fun but also challenging to juggle both SA responsibilities and college
work. It has also been fun to be on multiple societies like the Down to Earth who helped broader my mind
about the environment and things we can do to help the college become more green. - Gonda Metzger,
Faculty Rep
We should take the time to celebrate our parliament members. In unprecedented circumstances our
college has been represented by students that not only represent their faculty but has represented our
college. They have single handedly supported, guided and advocated for our students of City. I want
nothing more but to see our institution carry on in Parliament, because if we were to be a 'Super College',
we need heroes like them, the ones that are there for the students and by the students. - Amy Strange,
Faculty Rep
The SA environmental project team has been so inspiring, an amazing partnership to save our planet. Allison
