Student Representative Council (SRC) |
The Student Representative Council (SRC) represents the entire student body of Carnegie College. Our current SRC President is Jenna McLinden.
The primary function of the SRC is to provide students with the opportunity to voice their opinions and concerns on issues affecting them to the College's Executive Group and Board of Management.
Once you've enrolled on a course you automatically become a member of the Carnegie College Student Association and can stand and hold office on the SRC.
You can apply for an NUS membership card and with this you can take advantage of a range of discount facilities throughout the Britain.
The SRC plays an important role in making your time at college both productive and enjoyable. Not only does it represent students on all matters affecting their interests and will liaise with the college management to express students views and suggestions for improvements; it organises social activities such as football tournaments, nights out, charity events and lots, lots more.
How do I get involved?
Each class elects a Class Representative to represent the views of their class. The Class Representative will attend SRC meetings where they will have the opportunity to raise and discuss these views and matters which can be taken forward by the Student President to the college’s Administration Manager and/or the college’s Board of Management.
If you would like to get involved put your name forward at the start of the first term for the classroom elections or contact the SRC directly by email
