Student Voice Forum: Amplifying Perspectives, Shaping the Future
Welcome to the Student Voice Forum, where every opinion matters, and every voice is heard. At our school, we believe in the power of student input to drive positive change and foster a vibrant educational community. The Student Voice Forum serves as a platform for students to express their ideas, concerns, and suggestions on various aspects of school life.
Selection Process
The Student Voice Forum comprises representatives selected at random from each class. This year, fate has chosen all students holding the number 13 position on the roll of their base class. This random selection ensures a diverse range of perspectives are brought to the table, representing the entire student body.
