What is the Students' Union?

The Students’ Union (SU) is a group of students dedicated to representing your voice, organising events, and running campaigns to enhance College life.

Every student automatically becomes a member of the SU when they join us, giving you the opportunity to get involved, share your ideas, and help shape student experiences.

The SU is led by the Students’ Union President, Rowven, who works closely with the Student Experience Officer, Summer, to support clubs, societies, and enrichment activities across the College.

Rowven is proud to be your Students’ Union President, and is committed to enhancing awareness of diversity and equality to bring the entire student body closer together.

While studying T Level Computing, Rowven has loved how different College feels to school, and enjoys the many opportunities available to him as a student.

He is enthusiastic about planning the upcoming terms, filled with exciting trips and events.

Rowven’s primary goals are to make sure all students are heard, to continuously improve the student experience, and to introduce new opportunities for students to enjoy College life.
