Attending the annual GCC Corporation Conference presented an opportunity to meet with the governors and the employers of the college and talk to individuals about the roles they play within the committee and what influence they have on the college. It was also an opportunity for the members of the committee to ask us as student representatives, questions on our experiences at this college.

We participated in various activities and discussions where we got to learn about the current situation in the college, which was focused on the financial aspects.
We learnt about how the college is funded and how important the students are to the financial status of the college. This involved looking into marketing strategies and measuring the standards against colleges in other boroughs, in order to compete in this competitive market and how we can improve on our standards.

We also learnt about the current projects the college is involved in and how far the college has gone in reaching these targets and how this will go on to benefit each and every student at GCC and the wider community.

This experience has helped us to build on our confidence and gave us an insight into the roles we play as student governors and how we can contribute to making GCC a college of excellence. This was our first chance to take on our roles as student governors and see what challenges lie ahead. It was an enjoyable learning experience and we look forward to seeing a positive outcome from our contribution in the near future.
