At Largs Bay School the Student Voice Committee (SVC) are a group of students elected by their peers to represent all students within our school. The SVC gives all students from F-6 a voice and provides opportunities to share ideas, tackle challenges and create change. Student agency is about empowering students to be active agents in their own learning and be part of the decision-making process.
Two SVC reps are elected per class for the year. Each class from Years R-6 can elect 2 class representatives. Class teachers may ask students, who would like to self-nominate, to present a short speech to their class or another form of presentation to talk about why they would make a great SVC rep. The SVC is lead by the Largs Bay School Student Wellbeing Leader Karen Smith and our Student Voice Executive.
