  4. Running the gym - gym induction for students, keeping the facilities safe, and equipment ready for action.
  5. Spreading the word - launching eye-catching promos, celebrating student wins, and running focus groups to keep our activities fresh and popular.
  6. Tracking the buzz - turning attendance and feedback numbers into smart insights to make our student experience better every single term.
  7. Unlocking extra funds - managing budgets like a pro and hunting down exciting grants or funding bids to supercharge our sports and enrichment kit, facilities, equipment and funded qualifications.
