College life

College life is about learning new skills and preparing you for the world of work, but it should also be about making new friends and creating amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

ENRICHMENT

We offer many enrichment opportunities for all. Take part in activities like sign language or first aid lessons, or one of our many cross-campus festivals. Gain valuable experience by joining the Student Association to represent your area of study, or turn up the fun by starting your own student club or society!

TUTORIALS

Alongside your course you will take part in regular tutorials. We want you to not only successfully complete your qualification but also develop the skills to make informed choices and become a well-rounded citizen. Tutorials are also a chance to catch up with your tutor, keep track of your progress and plan your next steps.

TRIPS

Many of our courses come with the opportunity to take part in some amazing visits and trips. Whether it’s travelling abroad, making industry visits or exploring art galleries or theatre, our trips will help you apply your new-found skills to the real world.

ALRIGHT SRC

Our action-packed event, Alright SRC, is an event which promotes positive mental health and wellbeing, Be Kind to your Mind. The event promotes positive mental health and tackles the stigma around poor mental health. You will be given the opportunity to take part in practical workshops, promoting relaxation, mindfulness and opening conversations about how you are feeling. Looking after your mind is as important as looking after your body.

SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT

At Stockton Riverside College we believe in respect. This means looking outside of your everyday life and showing respect and understanding for all those around you. We celebrate respect for all with an annual festival, sharing cultures and experiences, with a focus on promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across the College.

BE KIND

We know that walking into a college, starting a new course and being surrounded by new people can seem pretty daunting. That is why we encourage a year-round culture of kindness across the College. It doesn’t have to mean going out of your way to do something big. Often the simplest acts of kindness can make the biggest difference. So, whether it’s offering a smile, holding a door or saying a quick thanks, remember to always Be Kind.

ENTERPRISE

Whichever course you choose you can develop your entrepreneurial skills with our fantastic enterprise programme. We offer opportunities to try out your ideas and run your own business.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Getting hands-on experience in the world of work is a priority at Stockton Riverside College, this can include placements, volunteering, work experience in College and/ or community projects. By working closely with employers, we ensure our courses deliver the skills that count.

STUDENT ASSOCIATION

We have many amazing ways in which you can play an active role in college life. If you would like to have your say and represent your fellow students, then why not get involved in our Student Association? The Association works alongside Student Services, helping out at events, promoting activities and engaging others in enrichment activities including clubs and societies. We are also keen for students to set up their own student societies. Whatever your interest or hobby, if you want to put on activities or just meet like-minded individuals, get started and we’ll help you along the way.

FIGURE IT OUT

Whatever you want to do in the future, English and maths matter. Our Figure It Out Festival encourages students to develop their skills by taking part in a series of fun activities and workshops. It all adds to your success!
