Blogs • The President 2008

With the SCSA elections held last Saturday the College is in a transition phase of inducting the new Committee into their role as the custodians of our precious Students' Association.  The newly elected Committee is:

President: Tom English

Vice-President: Sofara Aiono

Treasurer: Nick Hornstein

Internal Affairs: William Sams

Sports: Freya Morrison

Cultural: Leah Carroll

Social: Georgie Kevany

 

They are already busy making arrangements for the annual High Tea this coming Wednesday, and starting to throw ideas around for the barbeque tour and Orientation Week of 2009.  They'll become very busy people, contributing tirelessly to the success of the year, and learning a lot about group organisation.  

While it's impossible to list everything the Committee does, in limited detail these guys will be responsible for organising Selwyn teams for the Cameron Shield and Nevill Cup, managing nearly $40,000 of students' money, planning two balls and numerous hops (Selwyn parties), making arrangements for busy and exciting Orientation Week and ReOrientation Week programmes, maintaining our core traditions such as the famous ballet, Haka, Waiata, and ANZAC concert, producing the annual record, representing the student group to the College management team and Board of Governors, running social sports teams including our DKDs rugby squad, hosting College House for the Warden's Cup and making arrangements for teams to travel to Christchurch to compete for the Principal's Cup, helping to organise a series of special and unique church services,  and provide Selwyn College merchandise for residents to purchase along with a number of one off events through the year such as Race Day, Citrus Trials, and with a bit of luck, new for 2009, the Selwyn Golf Classic.  All this while studying full time!!  

There's no doubt they'll be another great Committee and a great asset to the College.  I wish them the best of luck for 2009 and look forward to seeing their work in action!
