Whether you are a new or returning student, I hope that you have had a great start to the college year and that you are now feeling settled in and ready to make the most of this new academic year.  If there is anything at all you still feel unsure about or want to ask, then please do let a member of college staff know - we are here to help!

This week you will be asked to elect a School Rep for your group.  Your views are central to everything we do at the college.  We need your input to help give you the best possible experience and to put right any problems that may arise.  So please consider standing as a School Rep and getting involved with the Students' Union, who are inviting nomintations this week for their executive officer positions.
