Resource 1: Key Contacts Check List

Use this checklist as a template for recording all the key contacts you will need in your role as a class rep.  You can adapt this throughout your time as a rep to meet the needs of the role, and is helpful as a reference document or for passing on to other reps.  The checklist is downloadable as a PDF file or Excel file.  

Resource 2: What is Empathy?

As class representative you’ll develop the skills to filter through the facts of an issue. You’ll learn to connect, be objective, recognise emotion and support students.  

You won’t always have the answers; everyone is on their own path but you can be a signpost.
