All students in Cartmel College are part of the Junior Common Room (JCR). The JCR Executive (or 'Exec') are the body of students who are elected by you to be the voice of students in the College. They also organise numerous charity and social events, including the annual Winter Ball, days out, film nights, and the summer Extrav.
