Student Voice and the SRC

Enhancing Student Voice within our school has been one of our priorities this year and one initiative we have introduced is a Student Representative Council. Student Representatives from each class have attended regular meetings with Miss Casey this term and are beginning to set things in motion to improve our school.

Student voice acknowledges that students have unique perspectives on learning, teaching, and schooling, and should have the opportunity to actively shape their own education.  Student voice is students actively participating in their schools, communities and the education system, contributing to decision making processes and collectively influencing outcomes by putting forward their views, concerns and ideas. Student voice allows students to engage, participate, lead and learn.

Galilee's Student Representative Council have been very active this term. Discussions have been had around available sports equipment during recess and lunch, the hall rules and ideas for Friendship Groups.  Each SRC Member has been holding class meetings to ensure that every students voice within the school is heard. Student Representatives are asked to report to the SRC, the discussions they have had during class meetings and then to report back to their class, the discussions that they have had during SRC Meetings.

We thank the SRC and Miss Casey for the work they are doing to enhance student voice and improve our school.

2018 Prep Transistion

We have begun the first stage of our 2018 Prep Transition Program at Galilee this week. We invited our 2018 Prep class to attend an hour session in the Prep classrooms. While the new students were busy working the parents gathered in our new parents room for morning team. Mr Millar spoke to the parents about Galilee and the transition process for our new Prep students. Charlotte and Ethan, our School Captains, told us about their experience at Galilee and shared a video that they had produced featuring our current Preps. It was a wonderful morning and we are very excited about the new cohort of students who will be with us next year. 

2018 Prep Transition will include three more sessions where the students will be engaged in different curriculum intiatives.
