How the Student Union works

Our Student Union represents the voices of all students at National Star and helps to make sure that college is a great place to live and learn.

The Student Union meet weekly acting as a channel of communication between learners, National Star and other organisations.

Student Union executive members have many roles. For example, Health and Safety Officer, Quality Assurance Officer, Safeguarding Officer and Events Officer.

As well as the Student Union there are a number of student-led committees that talk about things such as disability awareness, sustainability and environmental issues, college food and drink and student accommodation and residences.
