West College Scotland has formally signed a new Student Partnership Agreement (SPA), reinforcing its commitment to partnership working, shared responsibility and enhancing the overall student experience.
The agreement was signed yesterday by Principal Anne Campbell, alongside Freshta Qaderi, Student President for Greenock campus, Samantha Mason, Student President for Paisley campus, and Summer McCafferty, Student President for Clydebank campus.
The Student Partnership Agreement was developed collaboratively by staff and students, ensuring the document reflects a shared understanding of what partnership means in practice. By working together, staff and students have created an agreement that is relatable, meaningful and focused on collective responsibility for improving the student experience.
The SPA formalises the existing commitment between West College Scotland and the Students’ Association, with both parties agreeing to work in partnership to support and enhance learning, teaching and the wider student experience.
A strong emphasis is placed on ensuring that the student voice is represented throughout every aspect of the College. Both the College and the Students’ Association are committed to meaningful engagement with students and embedding their views in decision-making processes.
The agreement outlines four key priorities, aligned with the College’s strategic objectives, the Students’ Association operational plan and ongoing areas of continuous improvement. Collaboration is central to the SPA and underpins all activity undertaken by staff and students in delivering positive outcomes.
