Your College ID
We ask all of our students to wear their ID in college at all times. This is to ensure our college stays a safe place, and that we can identify anyone who should not be in student only areas. If you have any concerns about wearing your ID, please speak to your tutor. Staff will ask to see your ID if you aren’t wearing it visibly. If you want more information on staying safe in college, text Safe to 81025.

Homophobia?
Homophobia is the one-word summary of a wide range of attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans* people. (Transphobia and Biphobia are more specific words summarising a wide range of negative attitudes towards trans* and bisexual people.)Homophobic bullying can take the form of name calling and using words such as "dyke". The reason people bully can be everything from being concerned about their own sexuality to being frightened or not understanding. At Stockton Riverside College we have a zero tolerance approach to all bullying, and will immediately take action if bullying is taking place. Possible actions are suspension, a disciplinary panel and even permanent exclusion. Even joining in a conversation on Facebook can have the same results under the disciplinary process if bullying is found to have taken place.
What makes an outstanding student?
What makes you stand out from the crowd? We are running a college competition, and want to know what it takes to be an outstanding student. Email Lorna (lorna.mclean@stockton.ac.uk) with your name, your tutor’s name, and in one sentence, tell us why you are outstanding. Every entry will get free lunch or a free drink, and one special winner will receive a gift voucher. Entries needed by 14/2. Winners announced Monday after half term.
