TRIPS AND ENRICHMENT

To ensure that you get the best experience as possible we organise and arrange a number of trips and enrichment activities in and out of college timetable. The College offers a wide range of enrichment opportunities throughout the year including:

Theme Days

Visiting speakers

Careers events

Specialist workshops

Special projects

Off-site visits

You will hear about these opportunities from your tutor, the internal screens at the college, by checking your Dv8 email, social media or asking the Centre team

Trips

Some trips may require a financial contribution, you may be able to access the Discretionary Bursary to go on a trip You must apply well in advance to the Centre Office.

We value your input and views at Dv8; and in line with the emphasis we place on the value of Democracy, feel that it is important that your opinions are heard This is done in a number of ways; at certain points in the year you will be asked to complete surveys or questionnaires and it is important that as many of you respond to these as possible otherwise only a small number of learners’ views are represented We need students to sit on interview panels when we recruit new staff and on occasions will require specific student feedback on new premises perhaps or other college developments There is a termly Student Voice meeting and you will be asked to nominate and elect a course representative during induction week. From time to time Student Voice focus groups are held where learners get the chance to come together and provide feed-back either on specific issues or on the wider student experience at Dv8
