Newquay Bulletin – 4th May 2015

The final Course Rep meeting will

take place next Tuesday 12th May at

1pm in the Atlantic Centre.

Can all Course Reps from each group try and

attend or let Abi Stokes know if there is a reason

that you can’t.

It is really important to feedback any issues or ideas from your

groups so that we can make sure your voice is heard.

Lunch vouchers will be provided for all that attend.

COURSE REP MEETING NEXT TUESDAY 12TH MAY

Dear Students

If you are not already aware, the June Exam Week Timetables

have now been published on your course notice boards for

perusal. They should also appear soon on your course Moodle

page.

If you are scheduled to have an exam but you are not listed on

the college notice board, you should have received a

personalised timetable via email.

The exams are scheduled to take place between Thursday 28th

and Friday 29th May; Monday 1st to Thursday 4th June; Monday 8th

to Thursday 11th June. All exams taking place will be in

classrooms at Newquay or the Atlantic Centre in Wildflower Lane

(car access through the over flow car park).

It is a necessity in sitting HE exams that you have your UoP

number. This number can be found on your UoP card, or on

the college notice board exam timetable schedule.

Please note that you will also need to bring along

photographic ID to your exam, as your identity will be

checked by the Invigilator (even if the Invigilator is a

member of staff who knows you) as this is an exam

regulation.

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the exam.

It would be advisable to bring a pen and pencil and

calculator (if needed) with you to the exam. Only see-

through pencil cases are allowed on the exam desk.

Please remember to turn your mobile phone off and hand

into the invigilator or store away in your bag at the other side

of the exam room. It is a serious exam offence to use any

electronic device, bar a calculator in an exam.

HE EXAMS

Please also be aware that you will not be allowed to go to

the toilet unaccompanied, if you do need to go you will have

to wait until the break invigilator comes to relieve the

invigilator and then they will accompany you.

If you have any problems with your exam timetable please do not

hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help.

The best of luck with your exams!

Regards

Kirsten

CONCLUDING REMARKS

SKI TRIP – OPEN TO STUDENTS AND STAFF

Ideas are already being submitted for this year’s competition,

offering further education, higher education (FE and HE) and work

based learning students the chance to create solutions that could

change the education landscape forever.

Now in its third year, the Summer of Student Innovation is a

Jisc co-design competition to enable students to realise their big

ideas for using technology to improve education, research and

student life for themselves and for their fellow students. This year’s

competition is open to students in higher and further education

and those in work-based learning.

Successful entrants will be announced in June and receive a grant

from Jisc. The funding will help students develop their ideas into

apps and tools, support successful products to be piloted by

universities, colleges and learning providers, and promote all

ideas to other interested parties through sustainable routes.

To take part students are asked to submit a short video pitch on

the Jisc Elevator website, alongside a short summary and a 300-

500 word description of their idea detailing the benefits and how it

will impact upon research and education. The four categories this

year are:

· The student ideas competition

Exploring ideas looking into how technology can improve the

student experience in further or higher education. The final five

projects will receive £2,000 funding from Jisc and those taken

forward to the product development phase will then receive an

additional £3,000.

· Supporting technology start-up projects

Start-up grants to assist existing teams to promote and pilot their

products with universities, colleges or learning providers. Open to

any team with an eligible sponsor in education. The five projects

selected will all receive funding of £20,000.

· The learner ideas in FE competition

Learner led ideas for using technology that could improve

learning experience in FE and skills. Funding of £5,000 per project

SUMMER OF STUDENT INNOVATION 2015

five teams selected and an additional £5,000 for ideas selected by

Jisc to develop into a product.

· The apprentice-led ideas challenge

Ideas to improve learning from apprentices and trainees. You will

work with your provider, Jisc and the Association of Employment

and Learning Providers (AELP) to explore and develop your idea

and make it a reality. The five projects selected will all receive

funding of £20,000.

Those entering the competition must submit their applications

by Monday 18 May 2015.

Mark the return of

spring by listening

out for the cuckoo!

Help in recording

what is for many

the distinctive

sound of Spring –

the call of the

cuckoo. If you see or hear a cuckoo please submit your record

online.

The Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR) is

asking for people to report when they see or hear a Cuckoo using

the newly launched online recording facility.

The Cuckoo is a rapidly declining species Red Listed as a bird of

conservation concern in the UK. They arrive from Africa in April

and May and sing throughout the Spring. They are much more

likely to heard than seen. Their calls are distinctive but can be

mistaken for Collared Dove and Woodpigeon.

More information on the Cuckoo can be found on the Priority

Species of Northern Ireland website.

If you see or hear a Cuckoo then please visit

www.habitas.org.uk/records/submit-cuckoo-record and submit

your record.
