It also offers financial support, counselling, careers advice, one to one personal support, extra curricular activities, events and lots of enjoyable ways to fill your free time.
Student Services operate across all College sites to ensure that all students have access to the support they might need. We exist to support and encourage students and do all we can to aid academic success. We understand that sometimes, through no fault of your own, learning can be the last thing on your mind if money worries or distractions at home or among your peers are disrupting your studies. Student Services staff understand this and are here to help. Youth workers will also help you organise and attend a whole variety of activities in partnership with the Student Union.
Many of Student Services’ informal activities take place in the student areas at each campus. At Ardleigh Green student activities take place in ‘The Square’, at Quarles activities take place in the Common Room (for Further Education students) and the H.E. Centre (for Higher Education students). Depending on the event taking place you may well find Student Services staff leading informative and fun activities in the Refectory areas.
Activities are free to take part in and open to all Havering College students. These range from Welcome Fairs (similar to university Freshers’ Fairs) which take place during the first couple of weeks of the academic year, to celebration events such as, International Day of Peace and the College’s Respect Campaign, to awareness weeks or months such as Diversity Month and Drug & Alcohol Awareness Week.
