Student Union - Tiverton

Our vision is of PSU (Petroc Student Union) as a pioneering, innovative and powerful campaigning organisation: the definitive national voice of students.

We will fight barriers to education; empower students to shape both quality learning experience and the world around them, supporting influential, democratic and well-resourced students’ unions.

PSU Mission

To make a vision a reality, PSU will

• Promote, defend, extend and champion the rights of students
• Develop and champion strong student union officers.
• Represent students at all NUS (National Union of Students) events throughout the country
• Encourage students to take part in Active Democracy, increasing their right to a student voice
• To unite students towards the common goal of equality for al

PUS Values

To achieve our vision and mission we believe three core values are crucial:

Equality

We believe there should be equality of opportunity for everyone to participate fully in a society that celebrates diversity

Democracy

Our policies and priorities must be student-led and students’ union-focused through building open, transparent and accessible democratic structures that increase performance and strengthen accountability.

Collectivism

Students and students’ union officers are more effective when they organise together locally, nationally and internationally: unity is our strength. Strength helps us stay united.

Message from the President:

Hi, I’m Phoebe Craine and I’m the President of Petroc Student Union’s Tiverton Campus. The main aim of the Student Union is to provide students with a voice on all happenings within the college as well as the power to change things for the good of all students. We are also here to make sure students have a great time at Petroc, so we put on events throughout the year, the climax of these being the Summer Ball; the Ball is a chance to wish each other a good summer if students are coming back next year or to say goodbye to a few old friends.

My main job as President is to manage the Executive Team with Sarah Brown (The Student/Staff Liaison Officer) and make sure that they are giving students the best chance to make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of college students as a whole.  I am also the Student Governor.

If any students need any assistance at all, I would ask them to not hesitate to contact me in the common room office at any time within my office hours, or on my email address which is readily available. I am happy to help. After all, there wouldn’t be a Students’ Union without the Students.

Have a good year,

Phoebe Craine - Student Union President
