We caught up with your Student Experience Officer, Sean, to find out what’s being happening at College last term, and what you have to look forward to.
What happened in Term 4…
Football Tournament
In February, student footballers from across East Kent Colleges Group came together to compete in a tournament at Ramsgate FC. Organised by Darren, the Student Experience Officer at EKC Folkestone College. The teams played their top players in the hope of taking home the tournament trophy. The students involved had a brilliant time playing the other Colleges.
Careers fair
In April, the Welcome Building was a hub of excitement as we welcomed 20 local businesses into College to take part in our careers fair. The fair offered students a wide range of opportunities to explore. Businesses from different sectors were on hand, sharing valuable insights and career advice to help students discover their potential career paths.
Thank you to the Student Ambassadors who helped make this fair a success.
Easter Scavenger Hunt
On Friday 4 April, the Students’ Union ran an Easter egg scavenger hunt around the campus. Students were invited to find little wooden eggs which had been carefully hidden around campus. The eggs had the message “take me to the Students’ Centre” written on the front. Once found students could exchange their wooden egg for a delicious creme egg.
