The Third Eye got in touch with Attard Chase to share her thoughts as the new President looking forward to the new term.
Having spent a year as secretary general, I’ve worked closely with the former president and have learnt leadership skills necessary to take on the role. At the same time, I know I still have more to learn.
In the coming year, Attard Chase hopes to show how S-Cubed helps any student that comes in touch with the organisation, let alone be a part of it.
It is an experience which will help cultivate important skills in the entire team.
