         ow many of you have got a problem that’s really bugging you? Any of you got an idea to improve the college? Well don’t keep these things to yourself! Get them off your chest - go and tell the Student Association!

But who are they I hear you cry…

Well this is my point exactly, as it seems as though half of you don’t even know the Student Association exists! Particularly the Year 12’s who are new to the college.

So, I’m here to put it right in this, the quick bluffers guide to the Student Association.

I interviewed Zoe Duck, the President of the Student Association to get the low down on who the Student Association are, why we need them and what they’re all about.

Usman Juwaid is the Student Welfare Officer, Stephen Creamer is the Entertainment Officer and Shajna Rashid is the Equal Opportunities Officer. In addition to this there is a teacher member, Dave Goodfellow.

The SA then take suggestions to various teachers and Zoe herself can put forward ideas to the Senior Management Team at the college during meetings with the Governors.

So far the SA have been responsible for several things that have made the college a better environment for its fellow students. Take for example last year’s successful attempt to introduce a CD player into the common room ...
