As we begin Semester 2, I am delighted to welcome back all our students and staff to the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences (PESS).
I hope the break offered time to rest, reset, and refocus, and that you are returning with renewed motivation for the semester ahead. Semester 2 is an exciting and purposeful time in PESS, bringing opportunities to challenge ourselves, apply learning in meaningful ways, and continue striving for excellence in teaching, research, and professional practice.
To our students, this semester is a chance to build momentum, deepen your understanding, and take confident steps toward your future goals. I encourage you to stay curious, engaged, and resilient, and to make the most of the supportive learning environment and expertise around you.
To our staff, thank you for your continued commitment, enthusiasm, and dedication. Your passion and professionalism not only shape the quality of our programmes but also inspire our students to achieve their best.
As we move forward together, let us continue to foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and wellbeing. I encourage everyone to support one another, embrace new challenges, and take pride in the collective work we do within PESS.
I wish you all a positive, productive, and rewarding Semester 2.
