Student voice has 3 key components:

  • Sharing thoughts, ideas, & opinions that are genuine in an environment underpinned by trust & respect
  • Offering realistic suggestions & expectations for the good of the whole
  • Accepting responsibility for not only what you say but what needs to be done
