Student governance

How students are represented at the College and the Hospital — the purpose of student leadership and the objectives it serves.

How students are represented

Purpose

Students in the school and the Hospital exist as a body. It is important therefore to have a system of governance within this body for the following purposes:

Student leaders should represent all students, regardless of background, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, class etc.
There should be no tribal or political groupings

Objectives of the Student Governing Council

To represent and advocate for students’ interests, providing an organised and effective platform for students to express their views, concerns, needs and recommendations to the College administration.
To promote academic excellence by encouraging students to take responsibility for their learning, supporting academic initiatives, and collaborating with faculty to enhance the teaching and learning environment.
To promote student welfare and wellbeing by identifying and addressing issues affecting students, fostering a supportive learning environment, and facilitating access to appropriate support services.
To develop student leadership, professionalism and ethical conduct, providing opportunities for students to demonstrate accountability, integrity, teamwork and responsibility.
To foster collaboration and participation in College activities, extracurricular programmes, community engagement and decision-making that contributes to a positive and inclusive college community.
