Student Life: JCR Activities

Cakes and Compliments

A termly tradition where compliments to fellow students are exchanged for cake.

Decorate the Bar

A yearly event to decorate the Bar with photos of all the fun our students have had in their time at Merton.

College Families

A JCR-organised scheme to make sure that all freshers have a student parent (or two) as a contact point when they join the College. The family unit ( ‘siblings’, ‘grandparents’ etc) is a great way of meeting others across year groups.

Clothes Swaps

Opportunities to exchange clothes and help to save the planet.

Sports Day

An annual chance to get competitive with a range of activities (not all of which require any sporting skill)

Welfare teas

Regular opportunities to come together for a break, a chat and snacks, sometimes hosted by our JCR reps (e.g. an LGBTQ+ tea).

Adopt a Finalist

A scheme to support our Finals students as they enter the exam period, usually with small treats delivered to their pigeonhole (mail box).
