On Thursday 27th Match, the second ‘Student Voice’ conference was held with the five elements of the student voluntary body;  Student Ambassadors, Sports Ambassadors, Student Union, BCitizens, and Learning Advocates. The main purpose of this conference was two fold; firstly to recognise what each group does, and what have they achieved from the beginning of the year; secondly to look at ways to develop and enhance each strand’s work. The conference lasted an 1.30 hrs and this was enough time to learn more about each strand and the students involved.

During the  conference, each student voice group presented a presentation covering their role in the college, their special aims, and what has been achieved this year. This was great in helping us all learn about what everyone else does within the Student Voice. The second part was model on a ‘knowledge cafe’,  a written exercise with each group rotating between tables after set time periods. This was with the exception of one member of each strand who remained fit to their table as an anchor. This allowed the rotating members of each strand to sit at every table and learning from the ‘anchors’ what their role was within their strand of the voice. This allowed the all of us to learn about each strand, and make suggestions for what they could do for the future.

By the close of the conference, the connection between each group increased and we now know more about each strand and their role within the college. We will move forward with an aim to make people more aware of, and involved with,  the Student Voice does and in doing so, taking BSix from ‘good’ to ‘oustanding’ !
