Student Voice
Students can voice their own opinion on how their school is run through the medium of a Student Voice (formerly School Council). The committee is run and chaired by one of the deputy school captains (George Lander) with one council member from each form of the school. All students are free to stand for student voice elections and, once the particular person has been chosen, they will then attend various meetings, discussions and conferences where they will represent their particular group of the pupils at the school.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or voice:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story’s voice makes everything its own.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
