Paige Skelland

My Manifesto

Hi! I'm Paige, and I am currently 19 years old, studying Equine Sports Science in my first year at Brack.

I would love this role because I genuinely want to be a voice for students who have opinions and ideas about what happens at Brack. This year, I’ve been a bit of a quiet student, partly because I’ve felt a little out of place. That’s why I want to return with more confidence, find my place here, and make a difference.

Currently, I am part of the Equine Society, but I am excited to explore more opportunities next year and meet new people. I aim to be someone approachable and easy to talk to, especially for quieter students who might need someone to represent their voices.

Thank you!
