Student Voice

Student Voice plays a vital part of our growth at Macleod College, as it is one of the main ways in which confidence and a sense of belonging are fostered. Two specific examples of the ways in which student voice is fostered are listed below: Formal Structures and Student Feedback Processes. 

Formal Structures for student voice to be heard 

• A range of formal structures continue to provide regular opportunities for our students to raise concerns or offer solutions to emerging challenges. 
• School Student Representative Council 
• Pride Committee 
• Sustainability Committee 
• Student led assemblies in which students can share messages they believe are important
• Student leader regular meetings with staff 
• Inclusion of students on some review committees (for example, the Uniform Review Committee, the Charity Partnerships Review Committee and the Canteen Selection Committee) 

Teaching staff across Years 07 to 12 are required to gather feedback from our students about their teaching practice through anonymous surveys. The Attitudes to School Survey data focuses on instructional strategies as well as classroom practices such as fostering inclusion and developing positive relationships with students. This feedback from our students is reflected upon and as a school community we assess what improvement we can make.
