A busy week for the SU

Most weeks are busy for us here at the SU, and last week was particularly hectic. Here is a rundown of what we've been up to:


Monday

Steve attended the NUS regional network meeting which was held at Blackpool& Flyde College. It was a really interesting day and we discussed many topics including student feedback mechanisms, student engagement, learner voice& quality improvement as well as getting an update on NUS national campaigns.



Tuesday

Today was student rep forum day; time flies, cannot believe we are up to our 4th forum of the year already. As usual it was a lively meeting, we discussed many cross-college topics and were treated to a preview of the plans for the college new build - it all looks very exciting!

 
Wednesday

Steve joined in with the 5-a-side football activity organised by Ray, our College's sports coordinator. It was a fun session, but exhausting, Steve reported that he was aching all over after the game. We think he needs to get more practice :-)



 Thursday

Steve was busy today working with our learners at Stoneleigh Academy. IPad Club is defiantly taking shape now, the group are using Garage Band to produce their own song; we cannot wait to hear the finished article.

 Friday

Today students from the College’s Media department staged their own Harlem Shake in the Green Room. Students from around the College took part & it was 10 minutes of madness, but all in a good cause as we raised £130 for the College charity – well done everyone.
