STUDENT OFFICER, Kayla Ellington

Student Officers have no pre-defined portfolio, but together with the rest of the elected executive committee, will discuss and propose areas of work for the Union, ensuring that all students are represented. Alongside representing student views generally, Student Officer's chosen areas of work will be defined via their manifesto promises.

You can contact student officers to give voice to feedback about any area of your student experience, to ask questions about any area of the Union's work or to provide information that you feel will allow the Union to provide for student need.

More about Kayla

 

What do you study?

Primary Education with QTS

 

What SU run events and activities have you been a part of?

I’ve been along to a few of the theme nights in the Vault - personal fave has to be the musical theatre night!

 

What are your top manifesto points?

  • Improving and maintaining the support provided to aid students with their mental wellbeing
  • To encourage student voice
  • To foster the creative spirit present in winchester

 

What made you run in the Elections to become an officer?

I have always had a sense of helpfulness and I wanted to take a more active part in the support of the students here.

 

What’s your favourite thing about Winchester?

St Giles viewpoint and the view from St Catherine’s hill are definitely a highlight – I remember going up St Cats to watch the bonfire fireworks with my flatmates and just being blown away by the view! (It’s even better in daylight!)

 

What has been your proudest moment during your student journey?

It’s hard to narrow it to one, so probably performing in the concerts held by the music centre and in the cathedral, getting through placement having done some (mostly) successful teaching, and of course, getting elected!

 

What do you like doing when you aren’t being a Winchester SU Officer?

I’m a very keen musician and possibly an overly enthusiastic chef - you can usually find me in the kitchen baking up a storm (especially if I have a creeping deadline!) or singing in every choir the university runs!

 

What's your favourite film?

That’s a tough one! If I’m thinking golden oldie (because who doesn’t like a classic?), it has to be The First Wives Club. Otherwise probably Howls Moving Castle - the attention to detail in the animation - it’s a film that’s easy to get totally absorbed in.
