Home / News / Special Announcements / 2025 Student Agency Trainee

 

Student empowerment through voice, agency and leadership contributes to the Education State objective to build a world class education system which brings equity and excellence to the learning experience of every student. Effective student empowerment builds on a culture that values and nurtures student voice, agency and leadership. This goes beyond giving students the opportunity to communicate ideas and opinions; it empowers students to influence change in their school and their community. Authentic student voice provides opportunities for students to collaborate and make decisions with adults about what and how they learn, and how their learning is assessed.
