About the Check-In Calls
City St George’s Students’ Union are committed to improve students’ health, happiness and community and the Student Check-Ins is one part of how we intend to do this. This project aims to check in on students as they go into Term 1 as well as welcome new students to City St George’s. On these calls we are ensuring students have everything they might need as they progress into Term 1.
Additionally, these Student Check-Ins happen to ensure students are aware of services and support available. The project ran successfully last year contacting over 2,000 students. The aim is that through these calls, we are taking a proactive approach to supporting students and, by focusing on student-to-student interaction, strengthen community.
We are recruiting up to 25 student staff members to support in administering the Student Check-Ins across 2 weeks during November 2026.
