The student advocacy service helps students understand policies and procedures and can assist with making appeals, grievances and complaints.
To seek advice on how to lodge a grievance, you can contact the Convenor of the John Paton Fellowship Committee.
The John Paton Fellowship (JPF) is the College’s student body, providing meaningful liaison between students and faculty. It is run by the students with a committee elected at an Annual General Meeting usually held in early September.
The committee meets regularly to discuss student requests, concerns and ideas, which are presented to the Principal for consideration. If you would like to lodge a grievance, you can contact the Convenor of the committee.
Regular activities will be arranged throughout the year consistent with the aims and objectives of the fellowship. The JPF aims to establish a sense of community among students by providing practical care and support for each other while at college, and encouraging friendships that form a basis for ongoing encouragement after college.
For more information on the John Paton Fellowship, Care Groups, and other community support, visit our Student Life page.
