SRC/Student Voice Team Semester 2 

Wow, I am blown away by our first meeting. This group had so much to say, and I was very impressed by the confidence and support everyone showed each other and myself. The meeting focused on what we have noticed around the school and what we would like to focus on, and we definitely had a voice. Below is the extensive list of topics we discussed. As mentioned with the group, we will work together to address these issues, recognizing that some may be more challenging than others. However, the sky's the limit with this SRC/Student Voice Group.
