Student Voice
At Crookhorn College, we believe every student has a critical voice.
The 'Student Voice' page is dedicated to showcasing our commitment to student empowerment and active participation in shaping College life. Here, students are encouraged to express their opinions, share ideas, and influence the decisions that matter to them. We value each perspective and strive to create a community where every student feels heard, respected, and motivated to contribute to the future of our college.

College Council
Our College Council is a platform where students can actively participate in decision-making and drive positive change at Crookhorn College. Representatives from each Year group and Tutor group are invited to join the council, giving them the opportunity to bring forward ideas, discuss concerns, and vote on initiatives that impact College life. This experience empowers students to advocate for their peers and contribute meaningfully to the college community, fostering a culture of responsibility, collaboration, and positive transformation.
