This years Teach the Teacher Program focused on student advocacy. On Wednesday the 29th of May, the SRC team and teach the teacher volunteers held a presentation to college staff on what advocacy means to students. Students then found strategies in which they can work with teachers to help tackle some of these school-wide concerns. A total of twenty eight students and fifteen teachers attended the presentation evening. To conclude, teachers were given a school action plan and current policies to help diminish this problem.
