Do you want to make a difference to the College?

Learn how you can help other students to have their voices heard by becoming a class rep for your PT group.
Discuss as with your PT what student voice activities are and how you can get involved.

The main duties of a Class Rep are:

· To register their own details following their election as Class/PT Rep.

· To attend Class Rep Training (free refreshments provided)

· To attend Big Class Rep meetings (free refreshments provided)

· To check their college Gmail account weekly in the Group Tutorial and ensure they pass on any relevant information to their class mates
