Grapevine
Weekly news and information
New look grapevine
Welcome to the new version of our Stockton Riverside College Student Grapevine. Bringing you all the usual information and news about college life and activities, but in a new way!
New look Grapevine
This week's Grapevine has gone online, making it easier for you to get to the links and information provided. Let us know if you have comments and feedback by emailing lorna.mclean@stockton.ac.uk
Paper copies of the grapevine are available in the student common room and in reception areas if you prefer something you can take away in print!
A big thank you for your help
A thank you to all of you for getting to grips with our new system of keeping food and drinks away from the computers. And here is the grimy fact that make it good sense......there are more germs on an average keyboard than found on an average toilet seat - and would you have a hot chocolate or a can of coke on the toilet?
Student union spot
The student union officers are working hard to bring you the chance to spend some time unwinding and doing something you enjoy.
Currently we have had expressions of interest in quad biking, LGBT club, and we are still taking names for other activities. Contact ron.booth@stockton.ac.uk if there is something you are interested in.
Student Health
Being a student can be good for your prospects, but can sometimes be bad for your health! Being in the same place as a large number of people, along with a number of other things such as the pressures of exams, family and relationships can mean that students really do suffer. Some examples of student health issues are;
-Fresher's flu - normally September and it sometimes comes back in January
-Sickness (and other bodily stuff) bugs
-STIs
-Mental health and anxiety
-Substances - drugs and/or alcohol
And that's before you get started on the complications of relationships, friendships, Facebook, Twitter and all the other stuff.
We hope we can help with some of it, and for this reason provide a monthly student health promotion event, to bring together all the people you need in one place, as well as having our youth work service, onsite counselling (Thursdays) and our Safeguarding and wellbeing team.
If you have anything you are concerned about, please call into the youth work office as you pass, or text 'Safe' to 81025. We are here to help.
