The Valentine Indie Prom: a review
By George Crump
A group of ambitious Gloucester college students hosted an extremely successful College Valentine’s prom at the Gloucester Guildhall on the 9th February.
Entitled the VIP (Valentines Indie Prom) the event attracted lovers of the
romantic holiday as well as people who want to have nothing to do with
it. The majority of the students who hosted the event (specifically music
performance students) performed on the night. The night was primarily
aimed at Gloucestershire College students although outsiders where just
as welcome to attend.
The students had worked hard in the weeks
leading up to the event to make sure that everyone knew it was happening. There were live
performances in the Gloucester campus, plenty
of posters and flyers, Facebook and Twitter
pages and some publicity stunts involving one of the group dressed as Cupid!
The evening saw performances from:Robyn Busswell: A cover artist with a beautifully fluid voice; Angus Clements: An acoustic singer/songwriter with a great artistic flare; Subtle Voodoo
Elephants: A future folk band with a catchy pop twist; Callum and the Prophylactics: A glam rock band with a
controversial live show that is not to be missed; Funky Horse Milk: An energetic acoustic pop band and
Young Kato: An exciting Indie dance band. (This was the only band that wasn’t part of the college course.)
Each band was as exciting and enjoyable as the next with the crowd responding particularly well to the glam
rock outfits and antics of Callum and the Prophylactics!
The evening has really set the standard for future events.
Gold Cup glory for catering students
By Marie Steward
125 Catering and Hospitality students from Gloucestershire College attended the paid work experience
at the National Hunt Festival at Cheltenham Racecourse this week.
Prime sites at the event
include the Panoramic
restaurant and the glass
fronted boxes in the Grandstand where hospitality can
cost between £450 -£650
per person per day plus
drinks.
The students checked in daily from 7.30am, collected
their uniform and were in their venues ready for their
morning briefing at 8.30am. There is no rehearsal
time for this event- gates open to the paying public at
10.30 and all venues have
to be set up and ready to go
in order to provide corporate and general hospitality
throughout the venues.
It’s been a busy week and
exciting. Level 1s have
really enjoyed their first experience working at the
festival and the Level 2s have
enjoyed being given team leader
opportunities. Level 3s were
given the challenge of working
in the busy Kitchens as commis
chefs. The feedback from supervisors was that Gloucestershire
College students have done a
fantastic job and looked forward
to working with them again in the
future.
And here’s what the students
said:
“Its brilliant I love it, I would definitely work here
again” Shelby Morris
“Its been amazing, I want to come back next year”
Claire Fairbank
“Its excellent, I’ve had such a good time.” Kirstin
Nicholas
“Brilliant” Daniel Kerridge
Well done to all of our students for representing the
College in such a positive way, we are really proud of
you.

Going the extra mile
Sport Relief is upon us and once again the Students’ Union
have been inspired to pick up the challenge of raising plenty of
money.
See pg 10 for details about what is happening across the
campuses.
If you’re not able to take part in the sport challenges yourself
there are other ways for you to get involved and donate.
Going the extra mile is all about meeting the task and then
giving a little bit more. We all have it in us but sometimes it’s
easy to think ‘just enough is good enough’.
But is it? That extra push is what makes good, great. An A
grade an A*, a merit a distinction and cranks your sense of
pride up a notch.
“
Continuous effort - not strength
or intelligence - is the key to
unlocking our potential.

”
Never skimp on that extra effort - the extra minute checking
your work, the kind word to someone, or the thanks for a kind
deed.
The extra mile is not just about doing your best for yourself, but
for others too. If you’re picking up your rubbish from a canteen
table and you notice something someone else has left - why
not grab it too? Why not pop round and visit that poorly friend
or lonely neighbour. Help your gran with her shopping. Look
at volunteer work locally. You’ll make the world of difference to
them, and feel so much better about yourself.
Take a look at the people who might inspire you - Usain Bolt?
President Obama? John Bishop? They didn’t achieve what
they did by thinking “Yeah, that’ll probably do”.
You can also make that extra effort and make a big difference
by joining the Students’ Union. We are currently recruiting for
next year’s officers. We’re visiting tutorials across College
to tell you all about it, but if you’ve missed one of the session
email yes@gloscol.ac.uk or chat to the YES team or one of the
current officers.
In a hostile employment market, it’s these extra bits that make
you stand out from the crowd
So, shoulders back, deep breath and give it that little bit extra
oomph this month - you’ll be amazed at the difference you can
make.

GC Students clean up
Litter on the canal towpath along the Gloucester
campus is an eyesore and damaging to wildlife, and
the Students’ Union want to sort this mess out!
On Wednesday 22nd February the SU, along with
other student and staff volunteers, walked the path
from the Llanthony Bridge to Sainsburys collecting
every dropped wrapper, can, packet and piece of
paper we could find.
Thanks to the Estates team for their support and
Hasna Bibi, Camilla Jones
GC students with Councillor Paul Coleman
Matthew Nicholls, Diana Klemparova
Toni Kear, Sarah Thomas, Sam Preston, Kathryn
MacDonald, Richard Fox and Paul Collier for going the extra mile and volunteering.
If you would like to take part in a future litter pick, speak to the SU. We will be organising one for
the woodland area around the Forest campus soon too!
Rainbow Day at RFD
Travel and Tourism telling
tales
By Helen Gibbs, Personal Tutor
Level 3 year 2 Travel & Tourism students have been
entertaining the children at the Gloucester Campus Nursery
(recently awarded ‘outstanding’ status by Ofsted)
As part of LGBT History month, the
RFD SU organised a ‘Rainbow Day’
The SU desk, the canteen and the SU
themselves were bedecked in all of the
colours of the rainbow to draw attention
to the awareness month we were
proudly celebrating.
Robin Agascar, MBE, from GayGlos
visited the campus and was the special
guest speaker in the RFD theatre.
He spoke to many students about
the history of equality legislation, gay
rights and the emotional impact that
coming to terms with your sexuality
- and coming out - can have on a young
person and their family and friends.
Many students asked questions about
his background and experiences and
Robin was also on hand to speak to
students after his talk.

Jack and the Beanstalk
As part of their units for
Entertainment for Holidaymakers
and Working as a Children’s
Representative students had to
be able to plan, prepare, deliver
and evaluate an entertainment
activity plus be able to assist with a
children’s group activity.
The students who took part were; Erin
Cass, Jamie Flagg, Ellie Hawkins,
Matthew Hillier, Lauren Kent, Gemma
King, Natasha Kingscote, Ellis Lal,
Pirates
Daniel Nicholls, Fern PetrovicsHemming, Charlotte Pike, Natalie
Pugh, Danielle Sharples, Claire Smith, Sanchez Smith,
Natalie Vaughan, Chenelle Venna, and Grace White
In 3 groups they achieved
this by entertaining the
pre-school children at the
Gloscol nursery during
their story time session
over the last few weeks.
It was very well received
by the staff and children
The Three Little Pigs
and we wish to thank the
nursery for this opportunity and supporting the students.
By Sophie Grace and Kate Holford, HSC L3
All care students at the Forest of Dean Campus
attended a presentation about Psychosis and how it
can affect individuals, their friends and families.
This presentation was lead by GRiP (Gloucestershire
Recovery in Psychosis).
We were split into groups of four, and then given
roles such as a friend, someone with psychosis,
an observer and a person acting the voice inside a
person with psychosis.
This was beneficial to many students as we could
further understand how this condition impacts on a
person’s everyday life; we were left feeling frustrated
and confused and could see how exhausting it might
be to live with voices in this way.
Before this presentation, many of the
students didn’t have knowledge or
understanding of this condition. It also made
3 % of the population
students aware of what to look out for and
will have some form of
how to support family and friends.
Psychosis is a condition that affects a person’s mind
and causes changes to the way that they think, feel
and behave.
A person who experiences psychosis may have
positive or negative symptoms. Positive symptoms
are something that adds to a person’s natural
behaviour and that are not normally part of everyday
life for example hallucinations, delusions, paranoia
and reduced insight into their condition.
“
Causes of psychosis can
vary but include triggers
such as
•
Drug and alcohol
psychosis
abuse
GRiP
•
Significant loss
•
A traumatic event
•
Changes in the structure of the brain
•
Genetics
•
Changes in relationships
•
Neurochemical Transmission ( too much
dopamine in the brain)
As part of the presentation we took part in an activity
to help us empathise with individuals with the
condition.
”
The presentation was relevant to our course
as we may come across this condition in our
future careers. We would like to thank Gabby
Mabbott and Susie Ackner for such an eye opening
presentation!
What the students said:
“Interesting”
“Made me aware of psychosis”
“Enlightening and relevant to my course”
“Made me realise I would like to peruse a career in
mental health”

What is
abuse
within a
relationship?
Y
ou may have heard on Radio 1 recently of an advertising campaign that
the government have launched which focuses on rape within relationships.
The Hub takes a closer look at the campaign and what it’s all about.
A new hard-hitting campaign is being launched which
focuses on getting you thinking about sexual abuse
in relationships.
A video that will run for a month online, at cinemas
and during youth-focused TV shows like E4’s Skins,
shows a teenage couple heading to the bedroom.
The boy wants to take things further.
The girl says, ‘I don’t want to’ but he carries on
anyway.
The mood changes and a double of the boy appears,
watching in horror from behind an invisible barrier.
“He’s got his mind on one thing,” says actor Sam
Gittins, 18.
“He’s not thinking about her feelings, or her consent,
or anything like that.”
Eighteen-year-old Issy Brazier-Jones, who plays the
girl, adds: “Girls, teenagers, women - they’re either
scared, or they don’t even know where the line is.
Where is it crossed?”
6
Crossing the line
According to official figures, a third of teenage girls
and about one in six boys says they’ve experienced
sexual violence from a partner.
About a fifth of 16-to 20-year-olds also thought it was
probably acceptable for a boy to have sex with a girl
if he had spent time and money on her.
So where is the line? Is consent implied because
he’s your boyfriend? Because you’ve done it before?
Because you’ve done other stuff before?
In a word, no.
Consent
• Sex with any girl/boy under 16 is unlawful,
including oral. It doesn’t make any difference if
permission (consent) is given or not, if you’re
under 16 sex is illegal.
• Consent to one sort of sexual activity does not
mean you are getting consent to everything.
Permission is required for each activity.
• Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your
partner changes their mind, it’s their right to do
so.
• Even if you have had sex with someone before,
you still need permission the next time.
• Giving oral sex to someone without permission is
rape.
• If you do not get consent – it’s rape.
Saying “No”
“No” means “no”. It’s a myth that when a girl says
“no” she really means “yes”. Remember too that if
you say “yes” initially it is your right to say “no” at any
point.
Someone doesn’t have to say the word NO to
withhold permission. There are lots of ways they
might say they don’t want to have sex. Many people
find it hard to say anything, and will show through
their body language that they don’t want to.
The pressure to have sex doesn’t have to be
from physical force, to be rape. Rapists often use
emotional pressure and manipulative techniques to
intimidate and pressure their victims into sex, rather
than physical force.
“
Being pressured or forced to have
sex when you don’t want to
is a crime.
Under Pressure
”
Being pressured or forced to have sex when you
don’t want to is a crime.
Your partner may not be physically forcing you but
maybe you are:
• Being made to feel stupid or bad for saying ‘no’
• Being told you would do it if you loved them
• Being bullied into having sex
• Being encouraged to drink lots of alcohol or take
drugs to make you more likely to have sex
contact the police immediately by dialling 999. They
know how difficult and traumatic it will be for you to
make this call and they will take it slowly. You can
also take an adult you trust with you for support.
Only females experience abuse, right?
Wrong.
Relationship abuse can happen to anyone, including
those who are in same sex relationships.
If you are a male victim of abuse you can get
information and advice from Respect.

Is it really rape?
Rape occurs when a male penetrates another person
in any way (vaginally, orally, or anally) - without
consent. It doesn’t have to be a stranger in a dark
alley to be rape. It can be your boyfriend.
If this has happened to you understand that this was
not your fault. There was nothing you could have
done to prevent the assault. Nothing you did gave
anyone the right to do this. The fault lies entirely with
the person who raped or sexually assaulted you.
Telling someone what has happened means that
you can get the support you need. The person you
do talk to should be someone that you trust and feel
comfortable with. You may choose to tell: a friend,
parent, G.P or someone at College you trust.
You can also speak to the police. Most police forces
have specially trained police officers. You can

Outdoor Adventure Academy students put
Public Service through their paces!
This month the OAA students are leading
mountain biking, white-water swimming
and canoeing activity sessions to Level 2
Sport and Level 3 Uniformed Public Services
students.
The OAA students are using the planning,
risk assessment and delivery of the sessions
to complete assignments within Unit 5 of
their Outdoor Learning qualification, whilst
the Uniformed Public Services students are
completing their skills for water and land based
activities units of their BTEC qualification.
The students have really benefited and enjoyed
the experience of leading and instructing the a
OAA student Bryn talks to the group
range of adventurous activities and the process
has given their current assignments a real life
scenario.
Outdoor Adventure Academy leader Emrys Cook said “ The current leadership program within the PS1 school
is a huge learning and confidence building process and will be building the students up to a 3 day residential
in the Black Mountains in May where our OAA students will be delivering similar activities to the RFD campus
Foundation Studies students”
Students compete in regional HIPEX
apprentice competition 2012
Mitcheldean based Charlie Haslam and Kyle Donnelly got the chance to spend a day at South
Birmingham College as part of a regional skills competition.
Held on 21st February 2012, the regional HIPEX
apprentice competition 2012, saw Charlie and
Kyle, aged 16 and 17 respectively, competed
against nine other students and apprentices from
different parts of the region, with each student
having 4 hours to complete a copper pipe bending and soldering project.
Although they missed out on the regional winner
title, both boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got the chance to meet other young
plumbing trainees. They also received a certificate and £200 worth of free tools which they will
be able to utilise when they are working in the
plumbing industry.
Both students are currently studying the full-time Level 2 Plumbing course at the GC Construction School in
Mitcheldean. Their course will finish in July 2012 when both boys hope they will find a plumbing apprenticeship so they can go to develop a career in the industry.
Kyle was positive about his experience at the regional competition, he said: “I was very pleased with the
work I produced as I didn’t think I would do as well as I did, so it was a real confidence boost.”
Fellow student Charlie added: “We had a really good day. I enjoyed being able to test out my skills and compare my work against others. The free tools are an extra bonus!”

StudentS’ union
The Students’ Union needs you!
Are you enjoying your time at college?
Are you happy with your course?
Do you get involved in any extra curricular activities?
Are there enough extra curricular activities to get involved in?
If the answer to all these questions is NO! Then maybe something should be done about it?!
If only there were a group of people whose job it was to ensure that learners like you have a fun time at
College and have access to the opportunities they want.... Well, you’re in luck! There is such a group, and
they’re called the Students’ Union!
The Students’ Union work tirelessly to ensure that all students enjoy their time at college. They support
learners through any issues they might be facing and provide fun and exciting activities. Did you see the
drag artist, Miss Felicia, perform in RFD Campus? Or, did you donate money to the 45 mile charity bike ride
that went from campus to campus? These were just two of the many events that were planned and run by
the Students’ Union this year.
It’s not all fun and games though. Some students have a hard time both in and out of college and need support to ensure they can continue to attend their course. The Students’ Union help provide this support. They
have good links with the internal support departments and regularly meet with senior managers to ensure
that the learner’s voice is heard.
Every year a new group of students step up to the mark to take on the challenge of being in the Students’
Union. They are a group of elected representatives put in place by their College peers to help shape the college the learners want. The students involved are hard working, dedicated, reliable and outgoing individuals
with a desire to help others and change things for the better.
Not only do they help others achieve their qualifications and have fun in the process, but being a member of
the Union looks great on the CV or UCAS application form.
So why are we telling you all this? Well, we’re on the look out for the next group of students who are able
and willing to take on the challenge. If you are indeed dedicated, reliable and hard working, then we want to
hear from you. If you have an interest in organising activities, or a desire to help those in need, then we want
to hear from you.
All you have to do is register your interest with the YES team, either in person at a YES office (dining room
in Glos, first floor in Chelt or Student Services in RFD), or by email on YES@gloscol.ac.uk. Once you have
registered your interest we will get more information to you about the roles available and how to apply for a
position.

Sport Report
Will Merivale, Sport Academy Co-ordinator
London 2012
Have you heard? The Olympics is coming to town
this year!
This is a once in a generation
event so PLEASE make the
most of the opportunities that
will be presented to you this
year. If you want to stand
out from the crowd when
you leave education and are
looking for employment then
step up and volunteer for one
of the many hundreds of events that will be taking
place over 2012 and beyond.
The Olympic Torch will be making its way around the
streets of Gloucester on 24th May and the organisers
are searching for volunteers to steward along the
route from 8-9am. Further details will be released on
19th March so please watch this space!
If you are interested or just want some more
information please come and see one of the members
of the Sport Department.
OAA make a splash for LDD
The Outdoor Adventure
Academy
students
have teamed up with
the Foundation Studies
department at the Royal
Forest of Dean Campus to
deliver adventurous activities
on a three day residential in the Brecon Beacons.
This covers criteria for both students’ courses and
will be a unique experience for all involved.
But there is a cost for such initiatives and the
Outdoor Adventurous students were keen to help
the Foundation students raise money in any way
possible.
On Thursday 23rd February the OAA students dived
into the Forest Leisure pool at Five Acres to swim
529 lengths raising over £70 for the Foundation
students.
Course Leader, Emrys Cook, relishes the challenge
he has set his students:
“Uniting students across two departments is brilliant
for the College. It fosters an environment of respect
and confidence. Also, it’s a fantastic way to assess our
learners while at the same time benefiting others.”
Gareth Winter
Gareth Winter, Glos SU officer, was in action at
the Aviva UK Indoor Championships and World
Championships Trials in Sheffield. Gareth threw a
season’s best 15.02m
to take ninth place in the
senior men’s shot putt,
missing out on eighth
place on the countback
ruling.
This was his first indoor
senior
Championship;
so the first time he
has competed against
adults. The College is
exceptionally proud of your
continued improvements
and look forward to further records in the near
future.
Incentive Scheme
A reward scheme is now in place for all Sport,
Public Services, Travel and Tourism students who
show examples of positive
contribution towards their
course, the college or even
their exploits outside of
GC.
On receipt of the tenth
reward the positive role
model will receive a free
meal from any GC food outlet to the value of £3.
So make sure you let a member of staff know of
anything you may be taking part in that’s above and
beyond!
Sports Ability Festival 2012
One of the Year 1 Level 3 groups presented to the
Stroud and District Council Sport Department in
February about their proposals for the Sports Ability
Festival they are leading later in the year. It took a
great deal of courage to
present to professionals
but that’ll be nothing
compared to the running
of the Festival which sees
45 people with a range of
disabilities looking for fun
and inspiration from our
students on 26th April!
Good luck!
