The Guild
So, like, what even is “The Guild”?
In a nutshell: The Guild exists to protect the welfare of students, to represent your interests with the University, and to provide services that enhance your experience of studying at ECU. The Guild is governed by a council of elected students called the “Senate”. The senate decides the overall priorities of the Guild, approves how the budget should be spent, and any changes to how the Guild is organised. The Senate also debates issues students are concerned about and can direct representatives or Guild departments on how to respond. The day-to-day governance of the Guild is the responsibility of the Secretariat. Members of the Secretariat are more hands-on in their role and are responsible for the implementation of new policies, liaising with the operations side of the Guild, and ensuring the Guild is run in a transparent and accountable way. The Guild also employs staff to make sure its key services are delivered professionally on each campus. Some staff have direct contact with students, while others work behind the scenes to keep the Guild running smoothly. There are Guild offices on each campus open Monday - Friday throughout most of the year.
What does the Guild do, exactly? The Guild runs the second hand books service, publishes GSM (ECU’s student magazine), listens and talks to students through social media, discusses issues affecting students at ECU and how to resolve them, runs sausage sizzles, provides the text book subsidy scheme, organises end of semester parties, provides academic and professional referrals and assistance with academic appeals, provides kitchen facilities, supplies free fruit, bread and breakfast to students, grants emergency loans, operates free espresso machines, advocates students’ interests to the University administration, provides free printing facilities, distributes free student diaries and other merchandise, provides online access to the Guild’s financial and policy documents, provides a discount program to members, lobbies the University and the government for better conditions for students, hosts workshops and runs educational campaigns about issues affecting students, supports social justice causes, funds and promotes student clubs and societies, hires students for casual labour, supports minority and marginalised communities on campus, organises the ECU Welcome Days, club carnivals and other major campus events…

The Guild must regularly provide the University with updates showing how it spent its portion of this money, and how its programs aim to benefit students. This money can only be spent on services and events that are apolitical and serve to enhance the experience of students studying at ECU.

Anyone is welcome, whether you’re a Christian or are just vaguely curious!

No matter what expectations of Uni life you may have; or perhaps your experience so far has been dull to say the least, we sincerely recommend you give Christianity a fair go. What you can expect at CU is simply to encounter the person of Jesus Christ as he is revealed in the Bible. Come with your questions, convictions, or even prejudices as we explore the Bible together.

WASTV ECU is affiliated to Western Australian Student Television Inc. and is situated at the ECU Mount Lawley campus. WASTV ECU aims to provide students at Edith Cowan University with opportunities to explore and develop skills in the film and television industry. WASTV ECU implements a safe and welcoming environment where students feel they can sit and have a chat about anything they wish about the film and television industry. We believe that university is an opportunity for students to meet new people and graduate with more than just their fellow students in their course of study. WASTV ECU is open for anyone at the university who is interested in film and television to join and partake in the activities they offer. We welcome your suggestions and ideas and if you have an idea as to how you would like to see WASTV ECU go or develop feel free to contact us. Email: ecu@wastv.org.au Our society believes in the importance of continued professional development sessions outside the classroom setting. We aim to provide our members with opportunities to enhance their knowledge base with the generous support and guidance from Paramedics Australasia’s WA chapter. Behind WASP is a dedicated, adaptive and objective committee that continues to represent and advocate for the students best interest. Our society is closely affiliated with Student Paramedics Australasia (SPA), a national special interest group of Paramedics Australasia. This affiliation allows our members to actively participate in Paramedics Australasia and SPA activities. SPA vision is “To be a conduit for all paramedic students, enabling them to be heard and supported and to facilitate their professional development�. WASP aligns themselves with SPA/PA code of conduct regarding ethical behaviours, attitudes to care, and principles of good patient interaction.
Western Australian Student Paramedics (WASP), borne out of the previous SPA society SOAPS is an Edith Cowan University based society aimed to connect all students studying a Bachelor of Paramedical Science throughout WA.
