What Our Reps Say

Richard Hartley, Health & Social Care Foundation Degree Student
“Being a student rep has given me and my class the opportunity to voice our opinions.

Personally, I think having a student rep in each class is vital to addressing any issues/concerns the group may have. It gives everyone a point of contact who is totally impartial and someone to discuss things with should they not feel comfortable discussing it with a member of staff.

From a student rep point of view, it also provides you with the acknowledgement on your CV/ university application form that you have gained experience in the role of a student rep and the skills which are associated with that role.”

Heike Stevens, Education & Care Foundation Degree Student
“I was elected by my peers and wanted to gain a wider understanding and perspective of how the College meets the needs of foundation degree students.

As a student rep I have been able to access training and have met some interesting people. It has allowed me to raise concerns of fellow students with the College. The issues have been dealt with and positive outcomes have been achieved. Being a student rep has given me valuable experience and it has been a very rewarding role.

Andrea Hobson, Health & Social Care Foundation Degree Student
“I am one vote with many voices; I am the vital connection between students and the University/ College.  Students who perhaps would not go to the tutor with problems will come to me. I enjoy the responsibility of being a student rep and I am proud to represent my class.

I have gained new skills and experiences and enjoy having an input and gaining an insight into the management of Higher Education at Bishop Auckland College. What gives me most satisfaction is the College listen to our suggestions and we get things done.”
