A Class Rep is a student who volunteers at the start of each semester to represent the interests of students to the lecturers in charge of those courses. They provide an important link between students and the staff in a Department. They give the Department feedback on the courses and any problems or concerns that students raise. They also communicate with the class and are available to hear students’ concerns about courses, to help them directly or suggest where they could go for help.

If you want to know who your class rep is or if you want to know how to become one then you can contact the Advocacy Manager at the WAVE office at advocate@auckland.ac.nz.

Class Parties

Any class rep can organise a class party. All you need to do is collect $2.00 per person, complete the Functions form and take the money and form to Margaret Lewis at the ETTSA office.
