Heath Park Executive Committee
We want all members of the Students’ Union to be able to get involved and shape the work that we do. One of the ways you can get involved is through the elected officers' executive committees or networks.
Each Sabbatical Officer has an executive committee which is designed to shape and support their work. This could include supporting them in the development of policy, running outreach activity, or simply putting on events and activities students want to see.
The Heath Park Executive Committee is made up of 12 members, 6 directly elected through a cross-campus ballot, and 6 selected by the Vice President Heath Park Campus (Education and Welfare). All members of the Heath Park Executive Committee must be Heath Park students.

Updates from the Heath Park Executive Committee
Update (13.11.2024)
In the first meeting of the year, the Heath Park Executive Committee provided feedback to the VP Heath Park as a starting point for what their focus will be throughout the year. This feedback included:
- Lack of events in comparison to Cathays
- Capacity to rent out Social Sports Hall for more Formal and Leisurely Events
- The requirement for courses to be more integrated with different courses.- Hanifa has sent me a contact that I will reach out too.
- Activities and Opportunities available Heath Park West
- The requirement for more support/events on Palestine at the Heath, building a culture of respect and awareness.
- Requirement for Free Scrubs and Stethoscopes - (on my end I will mention to the Deans and relevant contacts I have about why this has changed)
- Opportunity to make videos with Directions.
- Suggestions for the university surrounding cutting back on buses/coaches that are used to get to placement as that they often don't utilise their full capacity.
- The need to celebrate more academic excellence - providing acknowledgment to students doing exceedingly well and promoting a culture that sees beyond just ''passing''.
The executive committee also spoke in detail about the requirement of a bigger prayer room at the Heath. In light of this discussion, the VP Heath Park has made this a priority and will explore options to action this.
All the above points were added to a master spreadsheet and the executive committee will discuss them regularly throughout the year.
