  • Introduction
    NAME Joanna Li POSITION Engagement Vice President REPORT PERIOD Jan 1st – July 12th HOURS WORKED 807 HOURS REQUIRED 560 Introduction Being VUWSA’s Engagement Vice President 2020 has been honestly one of the wildest rides of my life, but it’s also been one of the most transformational. I feel like I’ve learnt a lot and done a lot of growing. This report details what I’ve been up to this year so far. It includes a lot of meetings (in person, and over Zoom!), a lot of emails, submission parties, being condescendingly talked down to by old white men, learning about what a leader means and how to build a team, and what kind of work, for me personally, not only fulfils me, but also sustains me. It has also been a lot of the rest of the executive yelling at me to learn how to ask for help and how to take a break/ not stay in the office too late. It’s been a lot of fun! 2020 has thrown a lot of curveballs at us so far, but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else for the world. Bring on the second half of the year! Page 1 of 11 Engagement VP’s constitutional requirements Goal 5: Activities - To support sporting, social and cultural activities for and by students; primarily through Clubs and Representative Groups. Goal 6: Public Issues - To be the critic and conscience of the University and society, by promoting discussion and action on issues concerning students.

  • Death of Former Principal, Anthony (Tony) Brough
    Death of former principal, Anthony (Tony) Brough We have recently learned of the death of former Principal Anthony (Tony) Brough, who died peacefully in Nelson in November, aged 89 years. He was Principal from 1990 – 1995. Tony, along with his wife Barbara, made a huge contribution to College life. They were well-liked and respected by teachers, parents, and students, and Tony’s tenure is a significant part of College history. Tony was the 13th Principal, the first lay Principal and the first principal to manage College House as a mixed hall of residence. He presided over CH as it grew through the addition of Hardie and Beadel houses. Our thoughts are with his family at this very sad time. CH Alumni are part of the team to win prestigious engineering award Last week, the NZ Transport Agency, KiwiRail and the North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure group (NCTIR) won the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) People’s Choice Award. This award celebrates the world’s top civil engineering projects and sets the benchmark for excellence in construction and design. It is decided by a public vote – truly reflecting what the local people who benefit from each project really think! We would like to congratulate CH alumni who have been part of the huge team working on this project – Rolly (David) Rowland (2004), Daniel Headifen (1995), Hannah Willis (nee Lord) (2010/11) and Frances Neeson (2005/06). NZ Transport Agency Regional Director Steve Mutton, chair of the NCTIR Board, said it was a collective effort that resulted in engineering excellence, and every crew member – past and present - should feel proud of themselves.
