Hide AdRaymond officially accepted the post as Student President at the start of July following an election campaign that took place before the students broke off for the summer. Raymond, who previously studied HND Acting and Performance, has a range of experience and a real craving for creativity which will help him fulfil his role successfully and make this year another great year for the Students’ Association and the students of Fife College.
The Fife College Students’ Association represents students on everything that happens at the College. They liaise with the senior management team, feedback on issues affecting students, attend Board meetings and represent the students at various committee meetings. They also work closely with other departments within the College such as Guidance and Marketing.
As the new president, Raymond is keen to continue and improve on the great work that has been done previously.

Raymond will work closely with two other elected members Tom McPherson (37) from Glenrothes who was appointed vice president for Education and Representation and Ash Tucker (19) from Kirkcaldy who is vice president for Welfare and Equality.
