Hello, I’m Ben Burgess (He/Him), a second-year Business Administration student, and I’m running for the position of Vice-President Education for 2025.
I've worn many hats during my time at Curtin, including club president and, more recently, Deputy Chair of Guild Council. These positions have offered me a special chance to interact with a wide variety of people and gain a genuine understanding of the difficulties they encounter. Through this I have been able to not only experience but also learn about issues that plague students from all sorts of different pathways.
If elected as Vice-President Education one of my top priorities will be ensuring that students will be able to receive proper feedback that they deserve from assessments, especially your finals. I believe that constructive feedback is a key to growth and success, and I push to make this a standard across all courses at Curtin.
I will also fight to hold Curtin accountable to their promise of bringing back our second tuition-free week. This isn’t just about a break; our lives are already stressful and having that extra time to catch up on work or recharge is vital to our own mental health and academic success.
I strongly believe that for us to be prepared for the future our education also needs to be relevant and forward-thinking and that is why I will fight to ensure that outdated content is removed from everyone’s curriculum to ensure that when we leave University adequately prepared for the future that we will be stepping into.
With your support, I’ll work to make Curtin a better place for all of us—where our voices are heard, and our education is meaningful. Let’s build a brighter future together.
