We are delighted to announce that the student governor for the 17-18 academic year is Hazel Cassel.
The role of the student governor is to ensure that the students have a voice on the corporation board and also to chair the student council.
Hazel is on the first year of her Level 3 Child Care course and attends College three days a week (Tue, Wed and Fri) and a work placement in Thatcham for the other two. Hazel previously attended Newbury College as a Public Service student a few years ago and has returned to retrain so that she can go on to university and become a family support worker.
Already a student ambassador with responsibility for anti-bullying, Hazel is keen and enthusiastic about her new role. Her particular passion is student mental health and well-being, and she hopes that she can help promote awareness of these matters at board level.
Students can contact Hazel on
