Student Voice, Agency and Leadership is a whole-school program that allows students to have a say in decision-making processes at VSV and be active participants in our school community. Student Voice creates forums, channels, activities and programs that encourage our students to:
- get involved in school community projects
- participate in co-curricular activities
- provide feedback on how the school can better meet students’ needs
- exercise leadership skills on student committees.
Benefits
The benefits of being involved with Student Voice can include:
- enhanced confidence in a student’s abilities and being a valued voice in the school community
- friendships through interactive activities
- collaboration with other students
- increased connection to teachers, peers and school community
- leadership skills and experience
- involvement in wider school processes
- a deeper understanding of how to manage emotions, responsibilities and actions.
Students who have engaged in Student Voice activities throughout the year will receive a certificate of achievement and be acknowledged at our annual Awards Ceremony.
