IT
The Head of Business systems and data is working with the website content managers to improve accessibility and meet the web content accessibility standards regulations (for
example, current documentation may not be structured so they are accessible to a screen reader).

For PG and research students , I imagine mainly for research but worth to bring to
attention of all students: We have started to work and will launch Pure research portal for the research activities in the school, that’s quite exciting project which will bring lots of collaboration withing and outside the school.

Working on the improvement of asset management system, which should be ready soon and certainly for next academic year, aiming to make borrowing items more easily and
more under control not just scattered around the school.

A reminder that the Sundial court wifi infrastructure will be modernised and improved during the summer.

The additional PCs are still yet to be installed in the MC common room but are ready to go. 1 x MIDI keyboard has been trialled with a few students in the SS common room but was brought back due to the lack of space on the desks to accommodate the keyboard. This is still
a task that needs discussion with the Student Union President and one of the team will be in touch shortly.

Regarding Moodle, Evan is starting to work with academics on getting the system set up for next year. Evan is also putting something in the student ezine inviting students to send their feedback
on their Moodle experiences and how it can be improved.

Sessions last 10-15 minutes.

Sessions will take place between 12.30 – 2.00pm on the following dates: 28 June – in the Silk Street Advancement Meeting Room (Level 2, opposite room 209) 5 July – in Milton Court Tutorial Room Level -2 (opposite the back of house lift).

Alternatively, for an online session, message Catherine on Teams. Stretch and Relax, with Hannah Goodwin, Senior Health and Welfare Advisor

Just as a professional athlete needs to stretch to keep their muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, performing artists should also consider adding stretching as a part of their daily practice routine. Whether you play guitar, violin, sing, or are lifting heavy equipment, establishing a 10 minute stretching routine may open the doors to a world of benefits.

Drop in lunch time sessions on 15 July, 1.15pm – 1.45 pm Room 250 Silk Street – no booking required, simply turn up!

Facilities
Lockers
Lockers will need to be emptied by 15th July, last day of term. For those who will find this very difficult, and this is by exception, please e-mail Shelle Bridgeman to let her know. While you are away, we are going to change all the lockers to a hasp lock which means you
can put your own padlock on! We will send out locker allocation information for the start of the new academic year.

Cleaning
We are now in week 3 of the change to our cleaning regime in Milton Court. We have had some feedback but continue to welcome more. Many thanks to all who have feedback so far.

Following an excellent idea from Armin, we have added Q codes in each room with a link directly to the helpdesk so reports can be made to engineering and facilities for all maintenance, cleaning, etc and includes requests to change the temperature.

Recording & AV
Over recent weeks the department have made significant investment in cinema quality equipment, to revolutionise screen acting output. This will see a major upgrade to our camera stock, prime lenses and grip equipment, as well as new key lighting equipment.

Final recital season is underway, with over 200 recitals to record and deliver to students, as well as recording opera and drama performances for broadcast.
We provided support and assistance to GradEx with a large number of screens in use for various students’ displays, and Multicam recordings of the panel discussions.

All this in addition to our day to day recording schedule in our venues and large teaching rooms, and of course our recording studio

Registry
Whole School Survey
Student Reps are asked to encourage students to complete the survey, as the feedback
received is vital to the School continuing to enhance its programmes, services and
infrastructure.

This year response rates are lower than at this point last year. The School needs a high response rate in order to enact meaningful change based on robust data, without such it will be harder to determine what changes and improvements to make.

All students who participate are included in a prize draw to win one of four £25 Amazon vouchers.

The Survey is open until the end of term.
Please update your contact details
