PAL Leader

PAL is a supportive and confidential space to focus on parts of the course that everyone struggles with and ask the questions you don’t want to ask your lecturer. 

PAL Leaders are students who have previously completed the year or unit PAL is linked to. They volunteer their time to plan and lead sessions, facilitate discussions and activities and support their peers. If you've attended a PAL session or have PAL on your course, you can become a PAL Leader!
