Nervous about starting College? Student ambassadors are here to help.
Starting anything new can be a daunting and difficult experience. Moving away from home to a new town, whilst starting a new course can result in lots of questions.
Will I fit in? Am I going to make any friends? How will I know where to go? Will there be anyone to help me if something goes wrong?
That’s where RNC student ambassadors come in. Having someone who has been there and knows exactly what you are going through can really help, with many ambassadors having specialist personal experience skills.
Student ambassadors are trained to deal with a range of issues that they may encounter which includes things like:
- safeguarding
- exam stress
- homesickness
- finding new friends
- engaging with other students
and much, much more to ensure you settle in as quickly as possible.
Other student ambassador duties
- attend a short training programme to prepare for the role
- help out at the New Student Conference
- meet and greet new students over the arrival week
- help plan Induction Week
- help with induction sessions, supporting staff and students
- continue to support students into the first year of their studies
- refer student mentees with particular issues to an appropriate member of staff
- represent the College in a positive manner
If you choose to become a student ambassador, apart from feeling good about helping others, it will also provide a great opportunity to gain valuable transferable and employability skills.

Hi, I’m Ella and I’m 19 and from Walsall which is in the West Midlands. I’m starting my second year at RNC this year and I’m studying OCR Level 3 Business, Level 2 Functional Skills Mathematics, and Braille.
I enjoy baking and reading fiction books like Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. I like watching comedy and romance films and TV series on Netflix like Stranger Things, Gossip Girl and Emily in Paris. I like watching and attending football matches and I support Manchester City women and England (the Lionesses) women’s football teams.
I enjoy spending time with my friends, hanging out in the student bar and I like listening to music like pop and rock music and I’m a big Taylor Swift fan. I enjoy singing and I’m a part of RNC’s Wellbeing Choir. I enjoy doing sports and I go to the student gym often and my blind football skills have developed since at RNC and I played my first game in the National Blind Football League this year as part of RNC’s Championship team.
I’m a kind and friendly person and I always like helping people if it’s guiding students around the College campus or helping students if they need help with their work, I’m a good listener and I will listen to everyone’s opinions.
