Student Voice Council: Term 2 Achievements and a look at What's Next!

School Beautification Sub Committee 

Footy Day — Games, Prizes, and Community Spirit

Footy Day was a huge success this term. The Beautification Sub Committee of the Student Voice Council with the help of their peers, organized team games and challenges with donated prizes. Highlights:

• Prizes and games increased excitement and were managed by SVC members.

• The hit sausage sizzle served as a focal point, ensuring smooth service and team support.

• Free dress was popular and added to the fun atmosphere; clear guidelines on appropriateness were communicated beforehand. Post-event reflections show improved peer connections, strong student engagement, and positive feedback from staff and families.

Wellbeing Sub Committee 

Pizza Tuesdays — A Tasty Win

•  Student Voice Council, Wellbeing Committee, launched Pizza Tuesdays last term to boost lunchtime engagement and provide a consistent social space for students. Attendance grew each week, with the SVC team coordinating orders, set-up, and clean-up. Feedback collected showed high satisfaction: students reported the events helped them connect with classmates and felt the food options were inclusive of common dietary needs

HOUSE REFORM COMMITTEE

Members of the House Reform Sub Committee of the Student Voice Council, led by school captain: Zoe Wheelan, have been very active this term. Meeting fortnightly with Assistant Principal, Mr Caruana, the committee has been making exciting progress towards an overhaul of our current house system which is expected to be fully implemented in 2027.

Watch this space - exciting times! 

Teaching and Learning Committee

Led by School Captain, Jack Brennan, this Sub Committee of the Student Voice Council has also been exceedingly active in recent weeks.

The committee initially visited every classroom in the school, encouraging students to take the time to provide meaningful feedback to the leadership team by way of the Pre-Attitudes to School Survey. This is a survey designed to give schools valuable student feedback regarding school climate.

Determined to capitalise on the students' feedback, the Teaching and Learning Committee, together with the Assistant Principal, facilitated student focus groups at different year levels, thereby enlisting a cross section of students to assist us in unpacking this important data.

A whole school action plan is being developed to best capture and take advantage of this feedback. It is wonderful to see our students taking such an active interest in both their learning and their wellbeing. 

Next Events — Stay Tuned 

Student Voice Council is already planning upcoming events and activities.
