Stand Out

Get the most out of your time at Coleg Cambria by getting involved with our clubs and societies. In any of the clubs listed below you’ll be learning new skills, growing your confidence outside the classroom and making new friends with people who share your interests.

We believe that education is stronger when paired with an enriching social activity. You’ll stand out much more on university applications and CVs than you will if your college experience only consists of attending classes. Make the most of your time with us.

Getting involved is easy, just call in to Student Services to find out more.

What is Student Voice

Make yourself heard at Coleg Cambria. Student Voice is a fantastic way to get involved outside the classroom, by presenting ideas you or your classmates have to improve the college and your experience of it.

Let us know your ideas!

Student President

There’s nothing better to put on your CV or university application than Student President. You’d be one of only two Presidents at Coleg Cambria, so it’s a very lucrative role! You’ll be a helping hand and an empathetic ear for all your fellow students and their comments or concerns. As well as that, you will:

Lead on the Student Voice parliament once a year, making sure yours and all other reps’ voices remain at the heart of Coleg Cambria and are a driving force for the change you want to see
Attend NUS events when we need you, where you’ll be one of the faces of our college, upholding our reputation.

Student vice president

If you successfully apply to be a Student VP, you’ll be one of only five students lucky enough to secure this role. As a VP, a lot of your responsibilities will be similar to those of the class and campus reps, but you’ll also:

Chair the campus council meeting, which will mirror many real-life board meetings, preparing you for actual scenarios in your future career
Be the lead representative of all learners at whichever of the sites you represent
Be a candidate for election as Student President, able to run a campaign of your own
Attend NUS events when we need you, where you’ll be one of the faces of our college, upholding our reputation.

Campus reps

You might prefer being a Campus Rep. You’d be one of twelve campus reps at your site, with all twelve reps usually becoming very fast friends. As a Campus Council Rep, you’ll have all the duties of a Class Rep, but you’ll also:

meet informally once every two weeks or so for around half an hour – these informal discussions will enable you to work with the Student President and other student leaders to influence college developments and recommend change where appropriate
attend two lunchtime formal campus council meetings a year with senior staff and a college governor – you’ll have the opportunity to raise matters discussed by the student body, new initiatives and any other relevant themes with senior staff whilst making recommendations for change
attend and contribute to the Student Voice Parliament once a year
represent Coleg Cambria and the student body at various events, such as NUS trips
be a role model for students of Coleg Cambria

Class reps

Be elected as a representative for your class to give a voice to your peers. You’ll receive training and support from the college in the first term to help you in your role. All you need to do is register to attend via the Student Voice website. As a class rep you’ll:

Meet informally once every two weeks or so for around half an hour – these informal discussions will enable you to work with the Student President and other student leaders to influence college developments and recommend change where appropriate
Attend two lunchtime formal campus council meetings a year with senior staff and a college governor – you’ll have the opportunity to raise matters discussed by the student body, new initiatives and any other relevant themes with senior staff whilst making recommendations for change
Attend and contribute to the Student Voice Parliament once a year
Represent Coleg Cambria and the student body at various events, such as NUS trips
Be a role model for students of Coleg Cambria
You can also be elected as a Student Vice President or President.
