Siya Sardar - President
I’m Siya Sardar and it is my honour to be your Student Union President! I am fully dedicated to enhancing student life, passionate about inclusivity and community, and most importantly making your journey through A-levels more enriching and fulfilling. I thoroughly look forward to discussing your concerns and your ideas with our Student Union members and becoming representatives of your voice not only within the College, but in Academic Quality Council meetings too. With your help, I trust that we can improve the quality of our time and the life of future College students. Feel free to drop me an email or come and find me around College.
Joe Saggers - Vice President
I am honoured to serve as the Vice President of your Student Union. I strive to be a dedicated and effective representative of the Student Body by listening to the concerns, needs, and aspirations of my fellow students and ensuring that their voices are heard. I hope to foster a sense of unity by creating an inclusive environment where every student feels welcome and valued, regardless of their background, beliefs, or identity. An important part of this is effective communication, so I seek to improve communication channels between students and faculty to ensure transparency, accountability, and the timely resolution of student issues. I believe this will enhance the academic experience for all students, another of my priorities, which has led to my goal of introducing regular academic seminars to support student learning and growth. I am also a passionate advocate for student well-being, both physical and mental, and aim to actively collaborate with Counselling Services and support mental health awareness initiatives to create a supportive and nurturing environment.
Charlie Watkins - Community Engagement and Volunteering Officer
I am your Community Engagement and Volunteering Officer this year. I am honoured to hold this role and intend to help create a true, widely connected College Community. I want to invest time into creating opportunities for students to connect with employers, volunteering and allow the students to hear about events inside, and outside of the college. I want to invest time into both your future and your present; your voice is at the centre of my intentions, so reach out to me about anything. Together you create a joyful, engaged and flourishing community, and I am here to ensure your voices are always heard.
