Student Council Minutes Updated: 7th May 2010 Click here to download

The Student Council is a group that meets at least twice each term and is designed to help change and improve life at college. Student Representatives attend meetings and represent their fellow students. Students take part in discussions on issues that affect them and as a group decide how to progress their views. This may involve doing some research or contacting staff, or feeding back information to students at the College.

There are also 3 representatives who sit on the Fenland Youth District Council.
The website for this can be found at: The Youth District Council
