Athletic Union President
Amy Gordon
"My name is Amy Gordon, and I am your Athletic Union President for 2025/26.
Sport has given me a sense of belonging, leadership opportunities, and lifelong friendships, and I want every student to experience the same.
As AU President, I will be a strong advocate for all sports users - whether you're part of a performance team, a recreational player, or just starting your sporting journey. Every student deserves to be heard, valued, empowered, and supported. I will work to make sure Saints Sport is shaped by those who use it.
My time in student sport has given me a deep understanding of how the AU works and what it takes to create real, lasting initiatives. I've worked across different areas of student sport to help shape strategy, drive inclusivity, and ensuring student voices are heard. These experiences, combined with my passion for sport and commitment to the Saints Sport community, have perpared me to lead with purpose."

President of Education
Emily Bannister
"My name is Emily Bannister, and I am your President of Education for 2025/26.
I am committed to ensuring the productivity of your elected representatives and that staff act on and provide evidence of changes they have promised students.
I aim to guarantee that students are facilitated through improved communications.
I have solid awareness of and will expedite necessary improvements to the postgraduate academic experience, and I will foster innovation in learning and teaching.
Students facing barriers to academia deserve to know of all the support available to them."

President of Student Opportunities
Robert Moran
"My name is Robert Moran, and I am your President of Student Opportunities for 2025/26.
In our time at university, 'opportunity' takes many forms - academic exploration, creative expression, professional development, and the sheer joy of discovering what we're capable of. But for too many, these opportunities remain out of reach. Whether it's due to financial constraints, lack of confidence, or a simple unawareness of what is available, the gap between potential and participation persists. I believe that must change.
My motivation is grounded in a clear vision: a Union that doesn't just advertise opportunities but actively ensures that every student can access them. That means better support for student societies and volunteering groups, but it also means spotlighting the quieter corners where growth happens. It means recognising that 'opportunity' can be stepping onto a stage, stepping into a conference or interview, or simply stepping into a room where you feel you belong - both now and forevermore as a graduate.
Having spent my four years on nine committees like Ents and Mermaids and having supported creative, academic, and technical projects alike, I've seen first-hand what students can achieve when given the space and support to thrive."

President of Wellbeing and Community
Alex Chun
"My name is Alex Chun, and I am your President of Wellbeing and Community for 2025/26.
For the last year, I have acted as your Gender Equality SRC Officer at the Union. During this time, I have worked with Student Services, Disability, and the Union Sabbatical Officers, which has given me invaluable experience. This year I have won the Rector's Award for my activism in making the Union and the University an inclusive and accessible place for students. As your PressWell, I would continue my work in making this university safe, equitable, and accessible."
