Communication.  Transparency.  Support.  Events.  Democracy.  Your  Student  Council  are  ready  to  make  a  great  improvement  to  your  college  experience.  

We  provide  a  mix  of  representation,  

activities  and  services,  and  anyone  

studying  at  Hills  Road  automatically  

becomes  a  member.  We  are  not  for  profit,  

so  any  money  we  make  through  our  

activities  is  ploughed  straight  back  into  

offering  you  more  and  better  services.    

 

We  look  after  all  of  the  societies  on  

campus.  We  are  governed  by  our  

Constitution,  which  outlines  how  we  

operate  and  what  we  do.  The  Council  is  

managed  by  a  collective  of  eleven  officers  

who  work  together  with  form  

representatives  on  a  rolling  basis.    

To  find  out  more  about  what  we  have  

been  doing  you  can  read  the  Our  Vision  

document  (tinyurl.com/hrsfcvision).  This  

will  give  you  a  flavour  of  what  we’re  all  

about.

We have four committees run by Events Officer Jack Summers, who oversees everything social and party-related, Head of Environment Committee Rach Ellis-Lipschitz, who is concerned with the environment in both the college and the world around us, the Head of Societies Committee Anna Newman, who is reforming the way societies operate at Hills Road, and our Charities Officer, Ella Halfpenny, who runs a large committee dedicated to raising funds for a whole range of causes.

Our Head of Communications is Andrew Watts, and his job is marketing everything we do to you. He runs the website and makes all our posters.

We have a document called OUR VISION that lists all the policies we want to get through in the year ahead. It can be found on our website, www.myhrsfc.co.uk.
