Student Parliament
Home » Co-Curricular » Student Parliament
Participation in the Student Parliament is highly encouraged in order to promote student voice and enable participation in decision-making processes. It is the responsibility of all members of the school community to promote, foster and encourage students to take on roles of leadership, responsibility and commitment to their school.
Student Parliament will be the forum by which student leadership, voice and agency are developed. The Parliament will evolve into a rich and comprehensive program as the school grows each year. Comprising of various captains and sub-committee members, the Parliament will drive student initiatives within the school in areas such as house events, fundraising and community outreach, sport and recreation, environmental sustainability, creative and performing arts and STEM.
The Parliament meets on a regular basis to collaborate with each other and key staff.
Enabling participation in decision-making processes
Student Voice
Edenbrook Secondary College encourages maximum student participation in its decision-making processes by establishing structures which enable student opinion to be voiced, thereby developing a sense of civic responsibility and pride in their school. Student leaders are encouraged to seek out student voice as part of their responsibility. By allowing avenues for the voice of all students to be heard, we can maintain a positive learning environment where students feel positive, connected and safe at school.
Student Members of the College Council
The College Council has two elected student members who are valued members of this group. Student members of school council have the same rights, responsibilities and terms of office as other council members including full voting rights. However, student members are not eligible to hold any office bearer position.
