The Sixth Form College Colchester

The Charities Group offers the opportunity for students to get involved in the many charitable activities that take place in College throughout the year, including Christmas hamper collections, Easter egg collections and fund-raising events. We are always open to new ideas and welcome people who will help run things and get as many students as possible involved. We work closely with a number of local and national charitable organisations and the group is guided and supported by a member of staff. We will meet once a week to catch up with what everyone is doing and plan future activities. It is anticipated that some members of this group will go on to form the Student Charities Committee. Every year we raise thousands of pounds for good causes, so if you want to make a difference and have fun, then come along.

Employers, universities and other colleges are often looking for candidates who can demonstrate that they have done more than pass their exams! Employers, in particular, value strong transferable skills and relevant and current experience of ‘the world of work’. This course will initially be undertaken as a structured work preparation programme with the opportunity for students to develop their experience by applying for actual or virtual work experiences. A proactive approach is a must as students will take the lead in developing their employability skills and researching and applying for their own work experience opportunities.

We promote sporting opportunities within the College and arrange a wide variety of sporting activities and competitions based around current worldwide competitions and other popular but less known sports such as Dodge Ball. If you are interested in event organising, think this will be beneficial on your CV and love sport the Sports Committee is perfect for you.
