Introduction from Leanne, Senior Freshers' Rep
Hello Collingwood Freshers!
WELL DONE on getting your offer and grades to get into Durham, but more importantly well done on choosing the best college in Durham.
I'm Leanne Adamson and this year's Senior Fresher Rep which means I have the wicked job of organising a fun packed freshers' week for you in October. Freshers' week is a purely dedicated to all the new Collingwood Students and acts as an "induction" to the college life. The week is filled with exciting events from discos, quizzes, open mic events and nights out in Durham.
No doubt you may be starting to feel slightly nervous but hopefully more excited as October draws closer and this website aims to make you feel more ready for your time at Collingwood and Durham.
Collingwood is an awesome place and I'm really looking forward to meeting and welcoming you all in October (so excited!)
