Student Voice

Students contribute to decisions, shape initiatives, and partner with staff to make the school better for everyone. Student perspectives are built into daily learning, leadership, and long-term planning.
Health & Wellbeing

We actively listen to students and value their perspectives. Through student councils, leadership roles, house systems, and regular feedback opportunities, students are encouraged to shape school life and develop a strong sense of agency and belonging.

What Student Voice Means

Student voice is the way learners share ideas, influence decisions, and take responsibility for their school community. It develops confidence, encourages ownership, and reinforces the belief that every student can lead.

Leadership Structures

Students can lead and influence school life through a range of roles:

  • Student Council
  • House Captains and Prefects
  • Eco Club executive
  • Class Representatives

Each group receives guidance and contributes to school-wide initiatives.


How Students Shape the School

Student leaders and representatives play a direct role in:

  • Improving school policies and routines
  • Leading environmental and sustainability projects
  • Strengthening wellbeing initiatives
  • Developing co-curricular activities
  • Supporting digital citizenship and school culture
  • Providing feedback on teaching, learning, and assessment
  • Contributing ideas to campus improvements and community events

Their input helps guide the school’s planning and supports continuous improvement.


Voice in Learning

Student voice is not limited to leadership roles. In classrooms, it includes:

  • Choice in tasks, projects, and assessment formats
  • Regular reflection and self-assessment
  • Peer feedback routines
  • Student-led exhibitions and presentations
  • Inquiry-driven learning that encourages independent thinking

This builds confidence, metacognition, and responsibility for personal progress.


Getting Involved

Students can participate by:

  1. Joining a leadership group
  2. Giving feedback through surveys and forums
  3. Becoming a Student Council representative
  4. Leading or supporting school initiatives
  5. Sharing ideas with teachers and school leaders

Every student has opportunities to contribute.


Looking Ahead

We continue to expand how students partner with staff. This includes developing stronger leadership training, refining feedback systems, and creating more formal pathways for student input in school planning.
