Post 16 students are very much involved with the whole college and provide role models for younger students.

Our year 12 students act as mentors during registration every Wednesday morning, helping younger students in their tutor group.

We have an annual hustings and election to decide our Head student team for each year. This comprises a Head Boy and Head Girl and four deputy Head Students from our year 13 cohort. We also have three elected student ambassadors, who represent the college at public events and who welcome parents and guests to Treviglas.

Our Head student team meets with Mrs. Ross and with the Senior Leadership team every half term.

Head Students and designated representatives from both year groups sit on our Academic Board, a committee which meets twice a term with the senior leadership team to discuss college matters.

Our Head Students also lead the whole College Council, where elected students from every year group discuss college matters. Students are involved via both committees in developing and implementing college policies.

The House System is supported by our post 16 students, who host an annual Charity week in December, where money is raised for our four house charities. Post 16 students also help to organise our House sports day in July.

Students make individual arrangements to support younger students in lessons. Many of our students carry out community service either in a Key Stage 3 or 4 lesson, in our Effective Learning Centre or in a local primary school.

Our sport students complete sport leadership awards and assist in the running of sporting festivals and competitions for our own students and for pupils from primary schools.

Students pay an annual sum of money into their Investment fund, which is used to fund extra-curricular enhancement activities. Nominated students sit on the Investment Fund steering committee, which meets every half term to decide how the money will be spent.

We have a thriving Duke of Edinburgh programme and many of our gold award students go on to be Young leaders, helping younger students complete the bronze and silver awards and assisting in expeditions.

We will also be depending on our Post 16 Young Leaders, as we launch our first Ten Tors teams in Spring 2012.
