Student Representatives

The College is looking for two types of representatives:

Course Level: Contribute to improving your course for you and your peers by attending termly Course Review Meetings and Divisional Focus Groups

Divisional Level: Improve the learning experience for all students by attending termly Senior Leadership Focus Groups. It is a reps role to express the collective view of the students on their course and ensure that this view is heard by those in a position to effect change. This may involve lobbying teachers, tutors, Curriculum Leaders or Heads of Department for more resources, faster feedback, better time tables or improved facilities.

On occasion, reps may be required to represent a view they do not necessarily agree with but if it is the view of the group then it is the representative's responsibility to articulate this to the best of their ability.

Student Council

Sussex Coast College Hastings supports the operation of a Student Council. The membership of the council is elected democratically in April each year for the following academic year. All College students of any age and course, FE or HE are able to stand for election. The Student Council operates independently from College processes, is however, safeguarded through the attendance of College staff.

The Student Council supports the Student Governors in providing them with information about the student body, their satisfaction and dissatisfaction but also arranges events. The Student Council provides an opportunity to develop leadership skills and learn about the democratic process first hand.

Talk to your tutor if you are interested in getting involved or contact the Student Engagement team on 01424 458 553.

Student Governors

Students of the College are represented on the Board of Governors through the election of two student governors. These student governors inform the governing body of the College of the findings of the Student Council as well as their own research into student satisfaction. Student Governors are elected democratically during the autumn term of each academic year. All College students are eligible to stand for election.
