New Student Association Elected
Posted on Friday 3 April 2009
The new team jumps into action
Seventeen year old Jack Nixon, of Crowthorne, formerly of Lord Wandsworth College, has been elected to the prestigious role of Student President at Farnborough Sixth Form College. He will lead a 12-strong committee of students which plays a significant role in the development of the Beacon College, recognised as one of the country's leading sixth form colleges.
Jack said, "It's a great honour and a privilege to be elected President of such an outstanding student body as we have at Farnborough Sixth Form College. I look forward to even more success for the College in the coming year." Jack is in his first year studying Chemistry, Economics, English Literature and Mathematics.
Jack’s Vice President is Daniel Rodgett, of Fleet (16), a former student of Calthorpe Park School, who is studying, Biology, Government and Politics, History, Italian and Sociology. Daniel sees his role as supporting the President and the rest of the Student Association. He said, "I welcome the challenge to serve as Vice President for 2009/10 and look forward to supporting Jack and contributing to the success of this exceptional college."
Both Jack and Daniel will be appointed to the College’s Governing Body as full voting members from April 2009, giving them invaluable experience serving on a statutory corporation answerable directly to the government. Each of the student committee members has a particular responsibility, and this year the roles of Events Officer and Charities Officer went to Lottie Morley and Matt Davenport respectively.
Both Lottie, 16 of Church Crookham and Matt, 17 of Fleet are both former students of Court Moor School. Lottie said, “In the coming year, we want to co-ordinate these roles to benefit the whole college and also each of the charities the college is partnered with.”
President elect Jack Nixon said, "Both Dan and I acknowledge the challenge which faces us, but we are very much looking forward to playing our part in taking our outstanding College forward".
